Already in 2023, Florida and Nebraska have added themselves to the growing list of states protecting the right of residents to carry without a permit. Now two more states are pushing forward legislation that could make them the 28th and 29th in America to have permitless carry.
Louisiana’s House passed a permitless carry bill on Tuesday, May 23, with a majority vote of 70-29. Greg Hilburn writes in the Shreveport Times:
Louisiana is on the cusp of expanding gun rights after the House overwhelming passed a bill Tuesday that would allow adults 18 and older to carry handguns without permits or training as is currently required.
Republican Oil City state Rep. Danny McCormick’s House Bill 131 would “restore the Second Amendment in Louisiana.”
“For too long Louisiana has been infringing on that God-given right,” said McCormick, who said his 6-year-old granddaughter is “quite proficient” with an AR-15 assault rifle.
“Nothing is more unjust that to insist citizens pay for a right they already have,” he said.
In South Carolina, votes in the House and Senate could happen any time now. The NRA-ILA reports:
Senate Bill 109/House Bill 3594, NRA-backed constitutional carry bills, could be up for a Senate floor vote as early as this week. Your active participation has been pivotal in safeguarding and upholding our fundamental right to bear arms. Act now to make a difference! Contact your Senator today and express your support for constitutional carry, backed by Governor McMaster and the bipartisan support of the House of Representatives!
Action Line: If you live in a state where politicians are working to protect your Second Amendment rights, that’s great. If not, you may want to get your gun and your training now, before it’s too late. Click here to subscribe to my free monthly Survive & Thrive letter.
