BATON ROUGE- During the 2017 Second Amendment Weekend Sales Tax Holiday hunters will get a sale tax discount when they shop for firearms and other hunting supplies.

The sales tax holiday weekend will run from September 1 through September 3.

Hunters can get a discount on a wider range of hunting supplies including guns, ammunition, hunting apparel and archery equipment. During the three days, eligible purchases are fully exempt from all local sales taxes and are subject to only three percent state sales tax instead of the full five percent.
