From what I understand, this was also during the youth hunting weekend.

quote:

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited three subjects for alleged Wildlife Management Area (WMA) violations in Ascension Parish on Oct. 23.

Agents cited Yeferson Misael Mejia Rosales, 22, Josue Alexander Fernandez Cordova, 21, Julio Amaya Fernandez, 27, all from Honduras, for using a WMA without a WMA access permit and without a self-clearing permit. Agents also cited Rosales and Cordova for illegal target shooting on a WMA.

Agents were on patrol on the Maurepas Swamp WMA when they heard several gunshots coming from a main trail on the WMA. Agents made contact with the subjects and found Rosales in possession of a pistol and Cordova in possession of a rifle.

During questioning, Rosales and Cordova admitted to target shooting on the WMA in a non-designated target shooting area. The subjects also did not possess the required WMA access permit or WMA self-clearing permit.

quote:

Agents then notified the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office because the subjects had unknown immigration status. ICE officers arrived to the scene and took the three subjects into custody for their immigration status and illegally being in possession of firearms.

Illegal target shooting on a WMA and not possessing WMA access permits and self-clearing permits brings up to a $350 fine for each offense.

Agents participating in this case are Sgt. Edward Ridgel and Corporal Jerod Coats.

Can you imagine having to go home to a thatched hut and telling your family you threw away the American dream of being a sheet rocker working cash jobs making 100k a year tax free?? All because you were practicing so you could smoke a spike durning hunting season next week.

Ages 21, 22, & 27....My money is on they were rapid firing a .40 caliber Hi-Pernt and a Draco AK, not a Remington 700.

Copy. Makes the patrol more feasible. Either way the end result is the same… they’re done.

I couldn’t get a Missouri lic without a hard copy of my hunter safety card issued in Louisiana in 1988 or so, the state had my number on record but it was part of the old database and MO requires hard copy certificate.
I ended up retaking my hunter safety just because it was faster than the 3-4hrs I spent trying to convince someone that they should just issue me a new certificate.
I’m sure an illegal being proficient in all things illegal could have helped me get a fake DL fake SS# fake hunter safety and hunting lic with all the associated tags in less time than I spent trying to get a copy of my legit card!!

Can’t legally own a weapon.
The illegal school super had an additional charge for his pistol.
