During the current legislative special session, two esteemed lawmakers, Rep. Danny McCormick and Sen. Blake Miguez, have taken a bold step to expanding the rights of law-abiding citizens. Proposing a series of constitutional carry bills, HB12 and SB1, authored by McCormick and Miguez respectively, aim to empower individuals who are legally entitled to possess firearms by granting them the additional freedom to carry concealed weapons without the need for additional permits or unnecessary restrictions.
Furthermore, Sen. Miguez’s SB2 seeks to address a crucial aspect of constitutional carry that often remains overlooked – the potential legal liability faced by those who choose to exercise their right to concealed carry. This provision is critically important as it serves as a shield for law-abiding citizens. By limiting the liability of individuals who responsibly and prudently choose to carry concealed weapons, this bill ensures that they are not unduly burdened or deterred from exercising their constitutional rights due to the fear of legal consequences.
In my opinion, the introduction of these bills by Rep. Danny McCormick and Sen. Blake Miguez represents a core tenant of our country’s founders. This effort to champion the rights of law-abiding citizens expands the scope of constitutional carry and safeguards responsible individuals from unwarranted legal ramifications. When passed, Louisiana citizens can exercise their Second Amendment rights without unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles or undue fears.

Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.
Churchill’s rallying cry echoes today: “Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.” Here's how you can help hold the line for Louisiana’s conservative values.
One historical figure I frequently look to for inspiration is Winston Churchill. With little more than grit and determination, he rallied his countrymen to overcome overwhelming odds and save the world. He had a plan and a team, but on February 9th, 1941, he needed resources to further stimey the evil forces bearing down on England.
He closed his radio broadcast on that fateful day, saying, "Put your confidence in us. Give us your faith and your blessing, and, under Providence, all will be well. We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire... Give us the tools, and we will finish the job."
Here we are some eighty years later, and evil again bears down upon us. To be sure, Donald Trump will do his part in Washington, DC. However, Louisiana and her local communities are our jobs - yours and mine. It's up to us to hold the line against the Left's encroachment in Louisiana. That's the work Citizens for a New Louisiana has already been doing for nearly eight years. We've shored up our gains in Lafayette, Livingston, and St. Tammany parishes. However, many more parishes are currently undefended! Will you help us to expand more Conservative bulwarks into other parishes?
Churchill knew that success was only possible with additional resources. That remains true today. We can only continue this critical work with support from friends like you. We don't just think Louisiana is worth saving; we're doing our part to accomplish it, one little bit at a time. Are you on board? Here's your chance to prove it.
