Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Tangipahoa Parish. Hammond is the university and distribution city of the Florida Parishes, where I-12 meets I-55 an hour from New Orleans. Tangipahoa Parish dealers take transfers and Louisiana adds nothing to the federal check.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Louisiana law allows.
A drop-in trigger group is a part, not a firearm; it ships to your door in every state. The rules below apply to the rifles and lowers in the catalogue. Louisiana has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. The dealer runs the federal background check when you complete ATF Form 4473. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Louisiana dealer you name, who charges their own transfer fee.
Dealers in these communities all work for Hammond-area buyers:
Louisiana adopted permitless concealed carry on July 4, 2024 for adults 18 and over who are not prohibited, and open carry was already lawful. Courthouses, polling places, schools, bars and posted property stay off limits. The concealed handgun permit is still issued by the Louisiana State Police and is worth holding for reciprocity.
Louisiana sets deer seasons by Deer Area, with archery from October, still-hunt gun seasons from November and dog seasons in some areas. Wild hogs may be taken year-round on private land, day and night in most parishes. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal, and tags come with the licence.
Tangipahoa Parish is piney woods and strawberry farms north of Lake Pontchartrain, with hogs in the river swamps year-round and deer in Area 4's still-hunt season.
The Tangipahoa and Tchefuncte swamps hold hogs year-round, and the Waddill range near Baton Rouge is the nearest state-run facility.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to test a new trigger.

Check the LDWF map; the areas differ in dates and dog rules, so read the current regulations before the season.
A single-stage of four pounds with a short reset, so the second shot is fast and the first is not early; a light and a red dot do the rest.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
