The law referenced in the article prohibits ".....illegal carrying of weapons pursuant to R.S. 14:95 with any firearm used in the commission of a crime of violence as defined in R.S. 14:2(B), within one thousand feet of any parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity ........."

The NOPD thugs (and the LSP troopers who assist during carnival season) use this as their reason for arresting anyone carrying a handgun -- including those with permits. And that ignorant State Police Commander, Colonel Mike Edmonson, sat in a N.O. radio interview during Mardi Gras and endorsed the Orleans Parish DA's distorted application of this law.
