Shoe on the other foot?

"A new Louisiana press law related to gun owners has created outrage among journalists and First Amendment advocates around the country."

"Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed a bill last week penalizing those who publish the names of individuals who own or have applied for a concealed handgun permit with potential jail sentences of six months and fines of $10,000."

"An identity may only be released if a concealed handgun carrier is charged with a felony offense involving the use of a firearm."

"The law raises the constitutional question of prior restraint, meaning when the government prohibits speech or other expression before it can take place."

IMHO, on the issue of prior restraint, the “speech or other expression” has already taken place in other states. Also if the courts wait until it takes place in Louisiana, it will be too late. The damage will have already been done.

Well, I got my wish. :hurry:

God Bless America, and please hurry.
When I was young I knew all the answers. When I got older I started to realize I just hadn’t quite understood the questions.-Me
