Louisiana hunters, I have some bad news: Louisiana will not be having a Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday or tax free weekend in 2018. The tax and budget deal passed by the legislature will end Louisiana’s state sales tax holidays until at least 2025.

In previous years, sportsmen and women could purchase virtually any item for use during the upcoming hunting season and receive a 2% rate reduction of Louisiana state sales tax.
