We need to pound on our Senators and Reps. The tool Edwards said he will veto. Thanks to all the fools that voted for him. We need to pick off a few libtards for a veto proof majority.

Surprisingly enough, the libertarians were there testifying in favor of the bills.  It's going to be a hard sell, however, because LE was vocally against us.

I’ve been pushing my legislators to vote for it, but considering JBE has already taken a veto stance on the bill, I doubt it will go through.

Read through this thread for some info on the veto process in LA (near bottom of page 2). Essentially, once a veto is issued, there are time limits that very well could help prevent the legislature from pushing it through. My guess is that the veto is signed so that the legislature vote would occur after the end of the session such that they chose not to have a veto override session.

I think the ONLY reason we are seeing the support in the legislature that we have is because they know it won’t pass but they still get that “pro-2nd” notch in their belt for future pandering to our base.

I don't know, there were a lot of serious people there talking serious stuff for it to be just a dog and pony show.  I think Morris is serious about getting it passed, and (on the face of it, at least) he seems politically astute enough to not waste the capitol unless he knows it has a good chance to pass.  He was pissed McCormick brought up a competing bill (HB16).

UPDATE
HB16: The People's Constitutional Carry Bill

HB16 was heard in committee this week. We made flight arrangements for Dr. John Lott, Jr. to testify in favor. He is an economist and world-recognized expert on guns and crime who recently served in the Trump Administration as Senior Advisor for Research and Statistics for the US Dept. of Justice.

Dr. Lott arrived ready to share a plethora of information with us, but the debate quickly turned personal and it was quite unfortunate.
HB16 was killed by an 8-4 vote.

We had no warning of the political animosity we would walk into during that hearing, BUT, I will not be wasting my energy on the negative. There are more important things going on, including the fight for liberty in Louisiana!

WHAT’S NEXT? There are two remaining bills [SB118 and HB596] in play that contain language similar to HB16. I will work to ensure those bills continue successfully and reflect Constitutional Carry.

I am encouraging Louisiana’s 2nd Amendment supporters to continue pushing for a true Constitutional Carry bill!!

As Ronald Reagan once said, “There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.”

Now is NOT the time to back down!! We can still make 2021 the year Louisiana becomes a Constitutional Carry state!

I got the impression that McCormick was the problem.  The only real difference between his bill and Morris' was the age and no provision for training.  Morris put the training provision in there as an olive branch, since that seems to be the thing cops seemed to have a big problem with.  The McCormick bill had absolutely no chance to pass, but he brought it up for vote anyway, even though he (and Dr. Lott) would have been more useful supporting SB118.  As for him claiming to be blindsided, I doubt that: he was super nervous up at the table, and knew Morris was pissed.  I'll bet he didn't clue Dr. Lott in on the political infighting either, which is a shame since his testimony could have been more helpful had it been allied with the less antagonistic bill.

I believe the House passed bill goes to the Senate, who also passed a bill, where the two bill will be reconciled. We still have a ways to go. If a passed bill finds its way to the governor, he can and has said he will veto it. The bills that have passed in the Senate and House both passed by a veto proof majority. If the tool vetoes the bill both the Senate and House can override the veto with a super majority. We will find out who was posturing and who truly are in favor of the bill.

My understanding is that after a bill is vetoed, it goes back to the legislature for re-vote. The issue is that if it is vetoed late enough in the session and arrives at the legislature after a normal session ends, then the legislature has to decide if they want to reconvene and re-vote on vetoed bills. From what I read, they usually say fuck it and cancel that session, so if this thing has a chance, they need to move quick.

ETA: It looks like the regular session ends June 10.

In almost all states, any permit money goes to the State Police agency that runs the permit, not individual agencies.  And it's always the big city chiefs, who are the hired slaves of the mayor and city council, who gas huff the most about the horror of CC.

So what's the status of CC in LA?  I read the headline that the House committee passed the SB118 bill?  What happens next - a vote by the full House on the bill?  What reps should you all contact to keep the heat on them - Speaker of the House?

CC passed the Texas Legislature today, and will be signed into law later this week or early next.  Good times.  21 states now and climbing.  C'mon LA, get it to 22.

The House bill went to the Senate (the Senate also passed a bill) and I believe the 2 bills have to be reconciled. I'm not sure if a vote will need to be taken in both the Senate and House on the reconciled bill. Probably has to be a vote. When passed it goes to the Gov who will either veto it or not sign and run out the clock on the session. If he vetoes it and the session ends, the legislature can call a special session and override the veto.

My guess is the session ends and nothing happens. I just contacted my rep telling him to move on the bill that time is running out and that Texas now has Constitution Carry. Basically trying to light a fire under his ass. This is what happens when morons vote for a democrat Governor even though Louisiana is a red state.

Passed today June 1st, Jon Bel will likely wait 10 days and veto leaving no time for veto override since the session ends June 10, and the last veto override session was like 39 years ago.  So yet another waste of time from the legislature.

Did it pass with a large enough percentage to override a veto?  

If so, holler at your reps and tell them you want this overridden.  Texas is going to CC as of 1 Sep, and if we can have it here, no reason that LA can't too.

Being as I live in New Orleans, my rep and Sen voted against it, so I doubt I will have much luck.  Our pretend Republican majority legislature likely engineered this so they could pretend they support it, but sent it to the governor with such a short time on the clock he can wait 10 days and veto once the session ends.  So they can't override the veto without calling a special veto session....which hasn't been done in 39 years.

No, we'll hear "oh no, we just couldn't get enough support for a veto override session to have one, oh, woe is us, but look, we totally tried to do some of the stuff we promised, but we just couldn't quite manage it."

https://www.katc.com/news/covering-louisiana/louisiana-lawmakers-consider-holding-veto-override-session

"BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Gov. John Bel Edwards’ rejection of legislation banning transgender athletes from participating on school sports teams is spurring talk that Republican lawmakers may try to hold Louisiana’s first veto session under the current constitution.

Republican House Speaker Clay Schexnayder announced Tuesday night that he wants such a mid-July session.

That gives the possibility of the historic gathering some momentum.

But GOP Senate President Page Cortez hasn’t taken a public position, which could put the chances in doubt. Louisiana’s constitution automatically sets a veto session when a governor jettisons legislation.

However, it only takes a majority written vote of lawmakers in either the House or Senate to stop the session."

Looks like there is still a little hope.

He hasn't vetoed it yet.  If he doesn't veto it after 20 days, it automatically becomes law.  

Section 18.(A)  Gubernatorial Action.  If the governor does not approve a bill, he may veto it.  A bill, except a joint resolution, shall become law if the governor signs it or if he fails to sign or veto it within ten days after delivery to him if the legislature is in session on the tenth day after such delivery, or within twenty days after delivery if the tenth day after delivery occurs after the legislature is adjourned.

Works in our favor that Edwards also vetoed the ban on transgender athletes competing in girl’s sports. There’s a ton of backlash over that as well. Edwards revealed exactly what he is, a liberal Democratic. Hopefully we will have a veto override session around July 20 and stop this sh*t.

Keep on contacting them. Schexnayder seems to have caved and now supports the override session.

"The Louisiana Republican Party is urging the public to contact their local legislators and push for a veto session to override Governor Edwards’ veto of a bill that would prohibit transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports. House Speaker Clay Schexnayder says it’s a worthy cause.

“I know many of the legislators that I sat down with and talked to are passionate about this, not just the veto, the bill itself,” said Schexnayder.

The governor could also veto two other high-profile bills, a gun-rights bill and a transportation funding measure that would take dollars away from other parts of the budget. Schexnayder believes they could override all of the governor’s vetoes during a four-day session in the middle of July."

Does anyone have a list of sheriffs that are supporting constitutional carry, and those opposed to it?

So far the only supporters I see are Randy Seal (Washington Parish), and Sheriff Whittington (Bossier Parish).

Haven't seen anything from Bobby Guidroz (St. Landry) or Charles Guillory (Evangeline).  These are important to me since I live and work in those parishes.

If I had to guess, Guidroz will support CC and Guillory will oppose it.

With our esteemed governor's notoriously thin skin, I imagine he's fit to be tied that the session is happening tomorrow; no doubt he's calling in all favors and debts as we speak to keep anything from actually passing. Here's hoping that the grassroots heat being turned up means we don't get 31 of the usual "Oh well, we tried" responses.
