INTRODUCED BY:                     PAUL J. HOGAN, PE, COUNCILMAN, DISTRICT IV

RESOLUTION NO.                                                                 

Title

A resolution requesting that Senator Gary L. Smith, Jr., and Representative Gregory A. Miller seek to enact a bill in the next Legislative Session to amend the Louisiana Revised Statute 14:95.6 to indicate that there may be individuals with guns authorized by law located within the currently restricted areas or that they have Louisiana Revised Statute 14:95.6 repealed in its entirety.

Body

WHEREAS,                     changing the wording “Gun Free Zone” to “Unauthorized Gun Free Zone” or “Select-gun Zone” or some other wording that says to criminals “you take a risk of someone having a legal or unauthorized gun if you come in here” as compared to “Gun Free Zone” which tells criminals “no guns here”; and,

WHEREAS,                     “Gun Free Zones” have a double effect:  on one hand, they embolden criminals to strike where they know resistance will be weakest, and on the other hand, they take away good people’s only way to fight back; and,

WHEREAS,                     so as to no longer advertise to criminals “No guns here to stop you if you want to attack us”, this resolution is being offered.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL, do hereby request that Senator Gary L. Smith, Jr., and Representative Gregory A. Miller seek to enact a bill in the next Legislative Session to amend the Louisiana Revised Statute 14:95.6 to indicate that there may be individuals with guns authorized by law located within the currently restricted areas or that they have Louisiana Revised Statute 14:95.6 repealed in its entirety.

The foregoing resolution having been submitted to a vote, the vote thereon was as follows:

And the resolution was declared adopted this             day of                      , 2015, to become effective five (5) days after publication in the Official Journal.
