BATON ROUGE, La. — The gunbattle continues in Baton Rouge. Governor Edwards has vetoed the constitutional carry bill passed by the Louisiana legislation, but legislators could potentially override his decision in a special session.
Thursday, law enforcement leaders stepped into the conversation and sided with the governor.
“The readily available access to concealed weapons is not only going to endanger the law enforcement community, it will endanger the public as well,” said LaFourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre, who spoke at the press conference.
