Q: Is Louisiana Sec 11:3 hunting/discharge of firearms still in effect that prohibits discharge of a firearm within 500 ft?
Please allow above to apply to
Rural Acadia Parish outside of all city limits.
Apparently this is a law in 1800/ I heard about. I do have a screenshot of the law.

A:
You're inquiring about Louisiana's Section 11:3 and whether it still prohibits the discharge of a firearm within 500 feet, particularly in rural areas of Acadia Parish outside city limits. It's understandable that you're seeking clarity on this matter, especially if you've come across a historical law from the 1800s.
There isn't a widely recognized state law labeled specifically as Section 11:3 that enforces a 500-foot restriction on discharging firearms. Firearm regulations in Louisiana can vary significantly between different parishes and municipalities, and local ordinances often have their own specific rules regarding hunting and firearm discharge.
Given that laws can change over time, and considering the historical nature of the law you mentioned, it would be beneficial to consult the most recent local ordinances or contact the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office for updated information. This way, you can ensure you're in compliance with current regulations and stay informed about any changes that may have occurred since the 1800s.
