Wait time for CPL/CCW poll

[Magoo541]

I think I clicked the wrong vote...but it took 59 days from time of the app. being sent.  In Louisiana it cost me just shy of $350.00.  But I had not been a resident for 15 years and an additional 50 bucks was needed to have an Alabama background check done.  I also had to order a divorce decree from Alabama.  That was another 50 bucks.  All in all it was worth it.  5 year permit and only 150 bucks to renew next time.

ONLY $350 and $150 to renew!  Sounds like a poll tax to me.  My Oregon permit cost me $65 (not including class-I found an old NRA certificate from '99 and it worked) for 4 years, and IIRC my Washington State permit was $35 for 5 years and no class was required (I think I took the above class around that time though). 

Too bad criminals don't get the full anal exam before they carry...

I had a permit in Albama years ago.  It cost 25 bucks for a year.  The law then was they had to prove you shouldn't have one in order to turn you down.  In Louisiana you have to prove you are compitent to have one.  However anyone that is not barred from owning a firearm in Louisiana can carry in there vehicle as it is considered an extension of your home.  And Louisiana is about to pass a law that will make it impossable to lose our 2A rights no matter what the fed gubment does.  The Katrina confiscation crap had a huge backlash here.

Did any LEO face prosecution as a result their actions following Katrina?

Not for gun confiscation.
There have been several convicted of various murders.

Yup! The Danzinger bridge murders, where LEO shot at unarmed people trying to cross the bride.  Several were killed.

There were a couple other unrelated cases as well.
