Guns on the parade route

Food for thought guys, on a topic that seems to need a sticky during mardi gras.

the NOPD has used the law frequently, making dozens of arrests since the statute was adopted. But for all those arrests, including 11 during the 2013 Carnival season, there isn’t a single prosecution to show for it.

NOPD is so corrupt. I am extremely content that I don't live there.

Help me make sure I understand this: the DA can't prosecute this, because the laws is unconstitutional, but the PD said frick it, we're arresting them anyways. Did I read that correctly?
Also, it appears that the gun has to actually be used for this to apply, but the police sound like they arrest anyone with a gun. Even if they have a permit, and are breaking no other laws. The chief or whoever it was that was interviewed, said it stopped "would be" shooters.

But how many firearms were returned to the owners?

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.
