Hi everyone, just to start off I'd like to say my name is Dillon and I'm from New Orleans I'm 18, love hunting and love guns. Well I have a Colt mk iv series 80 1911 and a Smith and Wesson M&P40 pro series. They usually stay in my safe unless I am going hunting or going to the range, but I am moving to Hammond this summer and plan on keeping one gun in my truck with me. I did some research and talk to some cops, but I feel like cops barely know the law anyway. Well I found this law....
RS 14:95.8
A. It is unlawful for any person who has not attained the age of seventeen to knowingly possess any handgun on his person.
So I am pretty sure this means I am allowed to posses a handgun in my truck.
What do you guys think? I was planning on making a copy of that law and keeping it in my truck in case I get stopped. Also when I get stopped should I go ahead and just tell them I have a weapon in the vehicle even if it is not on me.
Thanks for all yalls help.
