Preparing for the "Second Amendment Tax Holiday"

The Second Amendment is one thing a gunsmith never forgets. Now the state's Legislature is creating Louisiana's first "Second Amendment Weekend Sales Tax Holiday." The holiday is scheduled to run from 12:01 AM on Friday, September 4th through 12 midnight, Sunday, September 6th. During this three-day period all fire arms, ammunition, and hunting supplies will be exempt from the state sales tax. Hunting supplies include archery items, hunting apparel, and miscellaneous hunting equipment. Despite the scheduled holiday, Earl Gothreaux of Hunter's Supplies and Pistol Range says gun sales have continued to peak since the Presidential elections in November. "A lot of people are buying ammunition and stocking up because they think it could be banned altogether," says Gothreaux...KPLC-TV
