I used to live in Youngsville, LA years ago.  I am coming back down with the kids to visit my old friends and take them out in the swamp and maybe marsh island, do some fishing, shooting, eat crawfish etc.  

I just have one question about the laws in Louisiana.  Is it legal for a 'civilian' to have an automatic knife?  (like a switchblade or out the front knife)

Thanks for the information I appreciate it.

spring-loaded, out the front knife is illegal.

thanks for the info, I will leave it here in Missouri, but will bring my 1911
