SB106 removes the current ban on carrying or possessing a firearm—such as a shotgun or rifle—while frog gigging (hunting frogs) at night.
The Louisiana State House of Representatives passed SB106 on June 3, 2025 by a vote of 93 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this legislation restores the constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms by eliminating an unnecessary prohibition on possessing firearms. It also affirms the Ninth Amendment-protected right to hunt and fish, a longstanding part of America's natural-rights tradition. At a time when many states are imposing increasing restrictions on hunters and sportsmen, SB106 strengthens and expands opportunities for participation in an enduring cultural heritage.
