U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- A weekend deadline is fast approaching for four pro-gun bills sitting on Governor John Bel Edwards’ desk. These measures have been passed by the Legislature and will protect our freedom in times of uncertainty and emergency, including during the current COVID-19 outbreak. Please contact Governor Edwards and ask him to sign these important measures.
House Bill 746, sponsored by Rep. Ray Garofalo, allows those who lawfully possess a firearm to carry concealed for self-defense during a mandatory evacuation under a declared state of emergency or disaster.
House Bill 781, sponsored by Rep. Blake Miguez, establishes that firearms and ammunition manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, suppliers, and retailers are “Essential Businesses” that shall not be prohibited from conducting business during a declared disaster or emergency. HB 781 further prevents law-abiding gun owners’ rights from being infringed during proclaimed curfews.
