MikeGunner / Pixabay Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards vetoed the state’s constitutional carry bill. While he tends to be one of the more pro-gun Democrats (yes, they exist), he clearly wasn’t pro-gun enough.
Since then, the legislature has been considering an override.
Now, a number of law enforcement officers are asking them to do no such thing . Law enforcement across Louisiana are holding a news conference Thursday urging the Louisiana legislature not to vote to override a concealed carry bill that Gov. John Bel Edwards vetoed during the regular session. The news conference will be held in Baton Rouge with multiple law enforcement officers in attendance. A proposal to allow Louisiana residents to carry concealed weapons without a permit was rejected by Edwards, as anticipated. Law enforcement officials say vetoing the bill is dangerous, as it would eliminate permits needed. “The LEOs will discuss how the override of the veto would lead to more dangerous crimes throughout communities,” a news release issued on behalf of the Louisiana Law Enforcement Coalition. said. “A recent survey found that 80 percent of the people of Louisiana support requiring a permit for concealed carry weapons.” Popularity for something doesn’t mean it’s right that it exists.
We’re talking about people’s rights here. We have a right to keep and bear arms and have that right un-infringed. Requiring permits isn’t consistent with that, and I don’t really care what anyone says to the contrary.
As for these officers’ concerns, I get it. As things stand now, if they find someone with a gun, they can ask for a permit. If someone doesn’t have one, they can arrest them. Remove the permit requirement and they lose that tool.
However, 21 other states have this law, and guess what didn’t happen? That’s right. There was no corresponding surge in violent crime unique to these states that can truthfully be attributed to constitutional carry.
In other words, while I understand their fears, they’re non-factors.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
