Carrying in Nola Questions

Edit: “We resolved that conflict to allow those that have a lawfully issued concealed carry permit into a class A establishments, that have the majority of their revenue from food, and not alcohol sales.”

cant conceal withing 1000ft of a permitted demonstration or parade

I'm headed to Nola for the Sugar Bowl, is there any specific rules about carrying there?

can't bring your gun into the stadium.

cant conceal in any restaurant that serves alcohol.

Not true...

Actually it isn't "true" about parades.

The La. Concealed Handgun Permit statutes say you cannot carry in a parade. Carrying at a parade is different.

LINK
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 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, except as provided for in Subsection U of this Section.
(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.

HOWEVER -- New Orleans has an ordinance that prohibits carry within 1000 feet of a parade route. This ordinance is not considered to be valid since cities cannot pass laws that supersede state law.

HOWEVER, even though the N.O. ordinance cannot supersede state law, you'll still get arrested. The "Catch 22" is that you may (should) eventually win in court, but you'll still pass an unpleasant time in Central Lockup.

The solution is to stay away from N.O. unless you just have to be there.

For sure, you can't carry in the Superdome (posted place of business) and you can't carry if your blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeds .05% (about 1-2 beers for most people).

Having discussed this with attorneys at LSP, I don't think it would go that far. But I think it would be great if someone did exactly that (win at the appellate level).

But again -- I don't go to N.O. unless I absolutely have to. And when I do go there, I have the name and number of good N.O. attorney that my "regular" on-call attorney recommended for anything in Orleans Parish.

Correct me if I am wrong but there is no law concerning open carry.

I believe the city ordinance bans both open and concealed carry.

Wouldn't this supercede LA state open carry law?

After the 2hrs they take to respond. Just had to take that opportunity. State of the Mitch.

I visited NO two years ago for a wedding, staying in the quarter. I called the police precinct in the quarter and asked the officer about carrying being as how I'm from Georgia. His exact words were "shoot first ask questions later".
Don't know how that plays out in real time but I had the lcp in my pocket everywhere I went that weekend.
