BATON ROUGE — If you didn't buy a gun or hunting supplies during last month's state-sales-tax-free weekend, you'll have another chance this weekend as Louisiana's inaugural Second Amendment Weekend tax-free holiday rolls around Friday through Sunday. But it's not just for guns, says Sen. Rob Marionneaux, D-Livonia, author of the measure signed into law by Gov. Bobby Jindal. It covers almost anything you might need for going into the woods or to the duck blind. Included in the list are handguns, shotguns, rifles and ammunition But it also includes all-terrain vehicles, airboats, pirogues and paddles, decoys, waders, float tubes, archery items, hunting clothing and boots, binoculars, bags, tools, range finders, knives, tree stands, blinds, chairs, optics, holsters and gun cases. "The Second Amendment Weekend Holiday provides a well-deserved tax break to everyday citizens of Louisiana," Marionneaux said. "It will save families money, boost retailers' sales and help our economy in this worldwide recession where every little bit helps." During legislative debate, Marionneaux said this weekend was selected because it's before hunting seasons open. The Legislature also approved a second tax-free weekend for gun purchases in November but Jindal vetoed it. Rep. Cameron Henry, R-New Orleans, wanted a second tax-free holiday the weekend after Thanksgiving for people who wanted to give guns as Christmas presents, but Jindal said three days is September were enough. Also, guns were included in the Aug. 7-8 general tax-free days that affected everything up to $2,500 except motorized vehicles and food that was ready to eat. Marionneaux said he also had another reason for wanting a tax-free holiday for hunting supplies. "Anything that encourages young people to become involved in the outdoors is worthy of consideration," he said. "I hope the citizens take advantage of the unique opportunity." South Carolina was the first state to offer a tax break on guns. In 2008, it initiated its tax-free weekend for handguns, rifles and shotguns. Most states that offer tax holidays limit them to clothing and school supplies or energy-efficient appliances. Louisiana and Virginia are the only states that also have tax-free days for hurricane preparedness supplies in May. Gun stores already have reported record sales this year. Some buyers expressed concern that the new Democratic administration and Congress might impose new restrictions on gun sales. No such proposals have materialized, and sales has slacked off. Sales tax holidays usually exempt state taxes. The gun holiday exempts both state and local taxes.
