For those of you who may not know the lovely city of New Orleans, let me tell you a few things about it.
N.O. to us here in Louisiana, is New York City light. It is very anti-gun. Evidence of how much only requires you to go back and look at Hurrican Katrina, when the NOPD confiscated thousands of legally owned firearms, sometimes at gunpoint. Although, they didn't do as well at confiscating weapons from criminals or stopping the massive looting (oh wait, some of them were in on some of that themselves).
Currently, iirc, if you are stopped either walking or driving and have a weapon (they get to define weapon) in your possession, you must provide proof of ownership or they will confiscate the weapon.
I live an hour from NO and have not gone there, except on businees for over 25 years. I know when people think of NO, they think of Mardi Gras, but that's just a small part of what they are.
Rant over.
