It’s my understanding that questionable technology was used to make the arrests. It would most likely not be admissible and the searches might be unconstitutional.

Not sure on its effect or if in state constitution, but there is also a limitation on preeminence of state gun laws if passed by local governments before a certain date in 1985.

Whether one supports permitless concealed carry doesn’t mean they have to support DA picking and choosing what to enforce and not enforce especially while taking property away.

It’s not like the DA is 2nd amendment purist, so why is he letting these people off while still taking property like guns or carrying them was illegal?

Did they break the law? Then there should more consequences including facing charges. Did law enforcement break laws in how they discovered these people were carrying? Then there should be consequences for them.

Something seems off with how this has been handled by DA.

It should absolutely NOT be a crime in the FIRST place.


Shall not be infringed

Additionally, carrying at parades - if truly illegal - is insane! As long as a person isn’t intoxicated, what logical reason passes muster?

Same thing as “gun-free” zones at schools, etc.

That is when they are needed the MOST as an equalizing deterrent of potential lethal force, which sadly is the only possibility that makes it to the top-floor of these evil criminal’s brains.

A 25 year old black guy has just as much of a right to own a gun as a do. He also has a 4-5x greater chance of needing it.

I was right next to a guy who was arrested for carrying a gun. The NOPD did a great job apprehending the dude. Hardly anyone noticed the arrest. There were a ton of kids around and it’s crazy to think someone like that can walk away with no jail time. His family (I think) was pissed at him which was nice to see.

Is it not common knowledge that it is illegal to conceal carry a gun at a parade?
The method they used to locate it is another issue, but they are breaking the law.
quote:

N. No concealed handgun may be carried into and no concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to this Section shall authorize or entitle a permittee to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following: (1) A law enforcement office, station, or building. (2) A detention facility, prison, or jail. (3) A courthouse or courtroom, provided that a judge may carry such a weapon in his own courtroom. (4) A polling place. (5) A municipal building or other public building or structure, only if the building or structure is utilized as the meeting place of the governing authority of a political subdivision. (6) The state capitol building. (7) Any portion of an airport facility where the carrying of firearms is prohibited under federal law, except that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, if the firearm is encased for shipment, for the purpose of checking such firearm as lawful baggage. (8) Any church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship, eligible for qualification as a tax-exempt organization under 26 U.S.C. 501, unless authorized by the person who has authority over the administration of the church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship. (9) A parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity. (10) Any portion of the permitted area of an establishment that has been granted a Class A-General retail permit, as defined in Part II of Chapter 1 or Part II of Chapter 2 of Title 26 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises. (11) Any school, school campus, or school bus as defined in R.S. 14:95.6.

Curious how that type technology would be questionable in the legal world. It's no different than drug dogs or DWI technology.

no… reasonable, upstanding citizens don’t usually illegally conceal guns to smoke blunts on bourbon street

Doing them a “favor” by not letting them keep their guns. Sounds like legalized theft to me.

Odd to hear the Lt. Gov. in charge of tourism that is running again for his current seat to send a message like this that would more often come from a Gov contender


You're right. Tourists have probably never heard of Mardi Gras.

Just asking a question to clear up some confusion. You mention that it is illegal to conceal carry a gun at a parade. You then post what I assume is the law that says it is illegal to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following. # 9 is a parade or demonstration for which a permit has been issued by a government entity. Is “At” a parade the same as “In” a parade? Has it ever been determined whether or not someone who is watching a parade while carrying concealed considered to be in violation of the law or is it only someone who is actually participating in the parade? Would like to know if anyone has a good answer.
