Bill > SB106

This bill amends Louisiana Revised Statute 56:634(A) to remove the existing prohibition on carrying firearms while frogging at night. Currently, the law allows people to take frogs using jacklights, mechanical frog catchers, gigs, and spears during nighttime hours. The proposed change would eliminate the previous restriction that prevented individuals from possessing shotguns, rifles, or other firearms while hunting or catching frogs after dark. By removing this language, the bill effectively gives froggers the same firearm carrying rights at night as they would have during daytime hours. The bill appears to be a narrow legislative adjustment focused on expanding personal freedoms for nighttime frog hunting, potentially addressing concerns from sportsmen or recreational froggers who may have wanted to carry firearms for personal protection or other reasons while engaging in this activity.
