Simmons Sporting Goods says people are flooding their store to take advantage of the Louisiana Second Amendment Weekend Sales Tax Holiday. <\/p>\n
Lindsey Simmons Roberts, ofSimmons Sporting Goods, says,\"Its a great opportunity for hunters to come in an get everything they need for the year. We have ten percent tax in Bastrop, so that is ten percent savings.\" <\/p>\n
Although the right to bear arms is in the name,hunters can save some money on more than just guns. A wide variety of hunting gear is exempt from local and state sales tax includingsome clothing, archery supplies and ammunition. <\/p>\n
\"I got some waders for duck hunting season. I may get some shot gun shells and maybe some articles of clothing,\" says hunter, Kyle Acklin. <\/p>\n
Another hunter, Bimbo West, says,\"It saves a lot of money when you buy your larger priced items like shotguns, bows, decoys, high end jackets and things like that. You can come and save quite a bit of money.\" <\/p>\n
Many hunters say they typically get their equipment for the year during the sales tax weekend. <\/p>\n
During such a tough economy hunters say its important to take advantage of the sales tax weekend, especially when buying high ticket items such as guns. <\/p>\n
\"Times are tough. The economy isn't that great, so anytime you can save a buck it helps,\" says West. <\/p>\n
Simmons Sporting Goods says they have already seen an increase this year in the number of people buying hunting gear. <\/p>\n
\"Every year it continues to get bigger. We are busier and there are more people. We have people coming from other states. We plan on this weekend being even bigger than last year,\" says Simmons Roberts. <\/p>\n
