Currently, to obtain a permit to carry a firearm in Louisiana, a person must be at least 21-years-old with no criminal record, complete a gun training class, and pay a fee.
In only the past seven days, I've almost been in three vehicle accidents. Two of these happened on the same day while on my way home from work. Was it because I'm a horrible, reckless driver? No. All I was doing was merging into turning lanes, but as I did, other drivers were barreling towards the light because they didn't want to wait until it was the proper time to do so. This has to stop.
After reading some of the laws on the books in the State of Louisiana, I am convinced the "weak and the stupid" may have been who we elected to put these laws on the books.
