Louisiana: “Gun Day” Postponed; Multiple Firearm Bills Slated for Action Next Week

This week’s “Gun Day” was postponed by the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee and could be rescheduled as early as next week. Multiple firearm-related bills could be heard, including three important pro-gun bills HB 393, HB 407, and SB 101- as well as anti-gun HB 220. Additionally, the Senate Judiciary C Committee could hear anti-gun SB 211, a "red flag" measure that grants the government the authority to confiscate a person's firearms based on mere speculation and hearsay evidence. Please use the two Take Action buttons below to engage with legislators and encourage them to support pro-gun legislation and oppose anti-gun proposals.

Bills Eligible for Hearings in the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee

Pro-Gun:

HB 393, authored by Rep. Dennis Bamburg, clarifies current law by recognizing the rights of bystanders or spectators to carry a concealed handgun at a parade or demonstration.

HB 407, authored by Rep. Lauren Ventrella, allows non-residents to apply for and obtain a Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit.

SB 101, authored by Sen. Blake Miguez, ensures constitutional carriers and out-of-state concealed carry permit holders who have reciprocity with Louisiana can carry firearms in more areas across the state by eliminating some gun-free zones.

Anti-Gun:

HB 220 creates the crime of improper storage of a firearm. It explicitly targets gun owners for negligent conduct already addressed by existing law. This legislation seeks to treat firearms and gun ownership differently than other potentially dangerous conduct.

Use the Take Action link below to contact House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee members and urge them to support HB 393, HB 407, and SB 101, as well as oppose HB 220.


Bill Eligible for a Hearing in the Senate Judiciary C Committee

SB 211 is a "red flag" measure that grants the government the authority to confiscate a person's firearms and deny their Second Amendment rights based on third-party allegations. The NRA opposes these gun confiscation orders and believes “red flag” laws are unconstitutional.

Use the Take Action link below to contact Senate Judiciary C Committee members and urge them to oppose SB 211.



Also, the House Civil Law & Procedure Committee voted this week to advance HB 289, which enhances and strengthens protections for the state’s firearm and ammunition industry members. It now heads to the House floor for a vote, which could occur next week.

HB 289, authored by Rep. Dewith Carrier, is a pro-Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) bill that further protects the firearm and ammunition industry from being held responsible for the third-party misuse of products they manufacture or sell.
