News story from Lake Charles, LA

[charlie12]

There was a story in the American Press Newspaper from Lake Charles,LA yesterday on guns the school zones. The Asst. DA in Lake Charles gave out bad info on teachers carrying their guns in their cars on school property. So if you go to the Lake Charles area be aware that the DA doesn't know the gun laws.

IIRC, the Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit does not give you a waiver to carry inside a Gun Free School Zone like Texas does. See http://www.lsp.org/handguns.html#prohibited" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. How is the information he gave incorrect? Please clarify.

It wasn't about Concealed Carry the last to link you posted is what I was talking about. Being able to have a gun in your car in the school zone was protected.

Do you mean due to SB 51 parking lot law that went into effect August this year?? Unless I am mistaken, that does not allow carry in a state or federally off limits area, per section D.1, which a Gun Free School zone is part of.

No I was talking about this part of RS 14:95.2

5) Any constitutionally protected activity which cannot be regulated by the state, such as a firearm contained entirely within a motor vehicle
