Postscript to Gov. Jindal

He got this one right. It is illegal to USE a firearm in the commission of a crime within 1000' of a parade. Rep Ernst decided (and obviously intended) to not allow anyone within 1000' of parade to carry a firearm. The only exemption was owner's property. Cars were not even exempted (and in Louisiana a car is an extension of your home) nor were Concealed Carry Permit holders exempted (and bear in mind it is illegal even for a concealed-carry holder to go to a parade with a firearm). If this law passed, I would have been breaking the law, say, If I was in my car 1200' from the parade and walked to my house 900' from the parade. So this was an obvious ploy by Rep. Ernst to prevent anyone from having a firearm within 1000' of a parade. More so, it is an outright ban and as far as I am concerned, a blatant violation of the Second Amendment. Thanks to Gov. Jindal, this was averted. Morseo, he DID sign a bill that provides harsher penalties for using a firearm in the commission of a crime within 1000' of a pre-Lenten (Mardi Gras) parade (like, hard labor for a long time and a huge-ass fine!!)
