MIGUEZ: Constitutional Carry a "Fundamental Right"

Sen. Blake Miguez had this to say after passage of his historic 2nd Amendment bill regarding carrying of firearms last week:

This past week marks a historic bi-partisan victory for the people of Louisiana as the House passed SB1, the “Constitutional Carry” bill with overwhelming support. Grateful to my colleagues in both chambers and across the aisle for backing this fundamental right. Eagerly awaiting Governor Jeff Landry's signature to officially make Louisiana the 28th state to embrace permitless carry. This is a testament to our commitment to the Second Amendment and the right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families without undue government interference.

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY PASSES IN LOUISIANA

Freedom to lawfully exercise your 2nd Amendment rights is headed to the governor’s desk for signature

BATON ROUGE—The Louisiana Freedom Caucus (LAFC) is proud to announce that SB1, authored by LAFC founding member Sen. Blake Miguez, is headed to Governor Jeff Landry’s desk for signature. The bill passed the House today with bipartisan support after clearing the Senate with the unanimous support of Republicans last week. The bill allows for law-abiding citizens over the age of 18 to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights in Louisiana. It also leaves the concealed carry permit structure in place for those desirous of obtaining reciprocity with participating states.

“With crime running rampant in Louisiana, Republicans in the legislature have taken action. Governor Jeff Landry will sign the bill into law, and it will go into effect on the 4th of July this year, in honor of our nation’s Independence Day. We are again empowering law-abiding American citizens with the means to protect themselves and their families from violent criminals. No more begging the government for permission to protect what’s ours in Louisiana,” said Sen. Blake Miguez, founding member of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.

“It is always a great day when the principles of liberty and freedom are honored. Today is such a day. The Louisiana legislature has voted to send a Constitutional Carry bill to the Governor’s desk for signature that will allow law-abiding citizens the freedom to carry weapons to defend themselves and their families in these perilous times. A new day is dawning in Louisiana! We are working right now in the legislature to arrest the violent crime that is permeating our cities and state through tougher measures against criminals, and also by safeguarding these vital liberties for the law abiding,” said Beryl Amedée, Chairman of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.

“For years I have been fighting for Constitutional Carry in Louisiana, and the day has finally arrived. Our state legislature, both House and Senate, have passed a clean Constitutional Carry bill and it is on its way to Governor Jeff Landry’s desk for signature! This legislation recognizes the God-given right articulated in the 2nd Amendment and ensures that our law-abiding citizens can exercise their right to keep and bear arms without unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles,” said Danny McCormick, founding member of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.

Sen. Blake Miguez: Embracing constitutional carry for a safer Louisiana

In Louisiana, where crime rates have placed three of our cities among the nation's most dangerous, the call for effective self-defense measures has never been louder. Gov. Jeff Landry has highlighted crime as a pressing issue, necessitating our immediate action to empower law-abiding citizens.

The case for constitutional carry in our state is clear: Individuals shouldn't need governmental permission to protect themselves and their loved ones. Neighboring states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky already recognize this right, underscoring that self-defense is a fundamental liberty, not a bureaucratic privilege.

Will Barack Obama Finally Admit That Cali Shooting is a Terrorist Attack?

CNN is reporting this morning that the wife and co-conspirator in the shooting that took place earlier this week had sworn allegiance to ISIS. Obama and his talking heads in the White House have steadfastly held to the notion that this incident was "workplace violence" or anything other than what most of America has seen it for, which is radical Islamic jihad.

And, on the heels of this shooting, the "President" has named an Hamas sympathizer as the new ISIS czar.

What else will it take for America to see we have an Islamic sympathizer as President who has no intention to protect us against ISIS and would rather focus on gun rights being diminished and calling climate change the greatest risk to this country? May God watch over us, because Obama sure in the hell won't.

It appears that our own Louisiana son, Tim McGraw, has stepped into a veritable buzz-saw with him appearing at what many in the gun-rights circles have called a "gun control fundraiser."  Twitter was abuzz with 2nd Amendment supporters decrying McGraw taking part in a fundraiser for a Sandy Hook group, which was formed after the shooting that took place there back in 2012.
