Local Bar Busted

Personally I think the Louisiana government is a load of horsesh!t. Banning any type of gambling outside of "legal establishments" solely to pad your pockets more, IMO.

The state law prior to last year was that you couldn't hold gambling in bars or places where the "house" was taking a cut or rake. The bars never took rakes, but the ATF and La govt. decided that them profiting from the sale of drinks or food was close enough to taking a rake. Now they passed this "executive order" that any bar that helps "advertise or run" a poker game is in violation. This is pure horsesh!t as far as I'm concerned. Listen to this video and read the text. It is hilarious. In violation for "having timing devices and poker table tops"
