Confusing the Law

Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana, just signed two laws to allow people who have carry permits to carry their guns into places where they serve alcohol. But not if the place makes most of their money from that alcohol. Restaurants that serve alcohol with food are okay. Cops and other “officials” are allowed to carry their guns in such places (unless their superiors deem otherwise), but they can’t drink while armed. Of course, those on “official business” will be allowed to carry them. Sound confusing? You bet. Even conservatives like Jindal can succumb to the wishes of the “anti-gun fool crowd” partially in how he makes his laws. He also signed a version of the ‘”Stand Your Ground” law allowing you to kill an intruder if you feel threatened. But if you hurt him, but do not kill him, it’s murkier. And you will need a battery of lawyers to straighten it out—so you might as well shoot to kill. This “stand your ground” law doesn’t apply if you’re outdoors. Domestic abusers would be denied the right to own a gun for ten years if they are under a protective order. But you know courts give these out like candy. My head hurts just trying to figure it out. I’d hate to be being shot at while trying. (Times-Picayune)
