Anyone In Louisiana Can Save Money During 2nd Amendment Tax Holiday

This is the weekend to buy firearms, hunting supplies, ammunition, and more as you'll save local and state sales tax money during Louisiana's 2nd Amendment Sales Tax Holiday.

It's a way to save close to 10% depending on where in Louisiana you are purchasing your items as local sales tax varies.

It's welcome news for anyone who enjoys hunting and saving money. All of the items eligible for the sales tax holiday are for anyone purchasing any of these items.

It's a break many people look forward to each year. And, since the Tax Foundation says Louisiana has the highest average sales tax in the country, we can all use a break.

There is a huge list of the various items you can purchase and get the sales tax break including the following:

• Accessories that are made for hunting
• Apparel that is made for hunting including safety gear along with clothing, hats, jackets, etc.
• Shoes and boots made for hunters
• Bags to put the game into
• Hunting tools
• Firearms
• Firearms, accessories, and cases
• Range Finders
• Knives used for hunting (some exclusions)
• Chairs used in hunting
• Tree stands and blinds
• Decoys
• Rifle Scopes
• Binoculars
• Hear protection and hearing enhancement
• Archery items and accessories
• Holsters and belts primarily used in hunting activities
• Miscellaneous gear manufactured and used for hunting

While there is a wide range of items that will be exempt from local and state sales taxes this Friday through Sunday, there are some items that are not exempt. For example, if you purchase some dogs for hunting, they are not exempt.

Here's the list of the items that will not be exempt from taxes:

• Animal Feed
• Sales or purchase of toys or off-road vehicles including all-terrain vehicles
• Golf carts, go-carts, mini-bikes, dirt bikes, tractors, motorcycles, and vehicles that can legally be driven on Louisiana streets and highways
