you Misfits in Louisiana that have lifetime CCW permits

a new ATF law now says you can only use it to bypass the NICS check for the first 5 years of your permit. Here is the statement from the ATF...

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has reviewed the Louisiana Lifetime Permit and determined that the permit meets the requirements as an alternative to the NICS background check requirement only for the initial five-year period beginning on the original issuance date. However, since the Louisiana Lifetime Permit is not re-issued with an updated issuance date, the holder cannot continue to use their “original” Lifetime Permit indefinitely as an alternative to a NICS background check. After the initial five-year period, the Louisiana Lifetime Permit would no longer meet the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 922(t) as an alternative to a NICS background check. The holder of a Louisiana Lifetime Permit would then be subject to a NICS check by a Louisiana FFL for a firearm transfer occurring after the first five years of the issuance date.
