New Orleans concealed carry
I've heard before NO has strict laws. I went there recently and I carried anyway. I saw no gun buster signs.
There was a mass shooting in NO. I just saw the mayor say they're making firearms arrest. He said do not bring them to the French quarter. He goes on and on. Is he including permit holsters or just trying to talk tough?

Re: New Orleans concealed carry
I vote for trying to talk tough. ETA: that doesn't mean that he and the local prosecutors would not try to turn a good defensive shooting into a circus and referendum on licensed carry, tho. I would give N.O. and especially the Quarter a pass right now.

New set of municipal gun laws signed into law in NO just two months ago; the new laws took effect at signing. I don't know much about Louisiana law, but I assume, given what NO City Council just did, that there is no pre-emption. And, lest we forget, Mayor Mitch Landrieu is a member of Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns; that should tell you something.
As to legal carrying, the new laws sets all New Orleans Recreation Development Commission parks (there are 103) and facilities as well as areas where NORDC-sponsored events are taking place as gun-free zones. I have no idea what this means to the French Quarter, and at first glance it's unclear to me what kind of signage will be required and when those signs are required to be posted.
FWIW, the new NO gun laws were not backed by the New Orleans Police Department Fraternal Order of Police.

Re: New Orleans concealed carry
Yea, New Orleans does not exactly have a gun friendly history as best I can determine. Probably due to the long history of Democrat control.

Re: New Orleans concealed carry
My wifey and I took a side trip to NO years ago. After witnessing a filthy city, we did not even stop. I have since never had a desire to go to NO again and I can't think of a reason that I would. JM$.02W

Re: New Orleans concealed carry
And it's such a shame. Thirty-five or 40 years ago, one of the advantages to living in SE Texas was that a weekend mini-vacation to New Orleans was possible. Jackson Square was clean, lively, and filled with portrait artists, not panhandlers. The classic NO restaurants alone were worth the trip: Cafe du Monde, Brennan's, Antoine's, Commanders Palace. Bourbon Street was about jazz clubs and great music and keep-the-glass Hurricanes, not about depravity, pickpockets, and urinating in the street.twomillenium wrote:My wifey and I took a side trip to NO years ago.

I recognize "old guy nostalgia" may color some of my memories, but I stopped considering New Orleans a vacation--or corporate conference--destination even before Katrina.

Re: New Orleans concealed carry
I won't even dignify this "famous" po' boy establishment by name, but after weeks of anticipation waiting to go there a few years ago, we walked in and saw a gigantic shrine to Ray Nagin they had on their wall. Turned around and walked right out.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Re: New Orleans concealed carry
I did a couple of quick reads about the recent NO laws passed and they seemed to indicate that exceptions to the 'gun free' zones are LE and concealed carry permit holders.
also,
http://www.guns.com/2016/09/09/new-orle ... -gun-laws/Next, the measure would make all of the 103 New Orleans Recreation Development Commission parks and facilities as well as areas where NORDC-sponsored events are taking place officially gun free zones under threat of a $500 fine or six months in jail. Exemptions are in place for law enforcement or those with a concealed carry permit. Open carry is legal in Louisiana without a permit, but would be barred from these recreational areas under the new law.
also,
http://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/ ... 03c59.htmlA second part of the bill is a scaled-down measure that would ban guns in city-owned buildings, parks or other facilities where New Orleans Recreation Development Commission activities occur. That provision is, in part, a reaction to the Bunny Friend playground shooting last year that left 17 people injured.
Concealed carry permit holders and law enforcement officers would be exempt from that ban.
Re: New Orleans concealed carry
New Orleans and the French Quarter have been wild and dangerous for a long time. About 45 years ago my sister and her new husband was walking down one of the streets in French Quarter in mid day - car pulls up across the street, guys get out and gun down another guy walking down the street, then drive off. It has been probably 35 years since I've been to the Big Easy- even then, like all large cities, you had to be careful where you went and how you went about doing things. Being young and foolish then my friends and I probably did a lot of very stupidly during our trips there for Mardi Gras and music festivals. Fortunately we had a couple of native N'Awlins guys in our group who kept us from straying into too much danger.
There's no place else like New Orleans. It's a shame that is has degenerated so badly under continued Democrat rule.
