Louisiana: legislative alert

[KBCraig]

I happen to be sitting in Louisiana this week, stuck at a casino in Marksville for a conference. When you don't gamble or party, and the casino is the only thing happening in a town of less than 6,000, it's pure boredom. Thank Heavens for the internet connection!

Anyway, from the Louisiana pages of the opencarry.org forum, I found this link to pending LA legislation that is important to anyone who votes here.
