A bike rider planned to join the World Naked Bike Ride’s New Orleans event Saturday (June 8) bearing a rifle and pistol, according to a post on the event’s private Facebook page Sunday. But, the post said, a volunteer encouraged him to stow his weapons before the ride began. According to witnesses, the same man was later arrested in the French Quarter for possessing a firearm.
“I saw him coming from some distance,” Steinkamp said of the gun-toting bicyclist, “and I said to myself, ‘Well, that’s different.’”
Steinkamp said he wanted to be certain the guns weren’t a danger to other cyclists, so he asked the man to prove the weapons were unloaded and in a “safe condition.” The man agreed to remove the bullet magazines from the weapons before allowing Steinkamp to inspect his backpack to be sure there was no ammunition stash or an explosive device inside.
Steinkamp said the man was completely cooperative and, as far as Steinkamp was concerned, represented no threat, so he was allowed to enter the park. But it wasn’t long before cyclists notified on-duty New Orleans Police Department officers about the conspicuous weapons.
Steinkamp said the NOPD officers made it clear firearms are not allowed near parade routes, including the Naked Bike Ride. So Steinkamp offered to take the man’s guns and stow them in his car until the ride was over.
In Steinkamp’s parlance, the young man “surrendered” his arms and participated in the ride. Afterwards, Steinkamp gave the man back his guns.
Not long after, the New Orleans Police Department arrested 25-year-old Cody Jackson in the French Quarter for illegal possession of weapons at a demonstration, police department spokesman Aaron Looney said.
Louisiana’s concealed-carry laws also do not permit gun owners to carry firearms within 1,000 feet of a parade route, though Jackson does not face charges for that infraction.

I read some posts where they tried to frame it as some right wing nutjob was planning to shoot up a pride parade but was stopped before he could

I saw those. If you insist on open carrying in situations like this, you’re just opening yourself up for things like that. They are looking for any opportunity to distort reality.

Just because you can does not mean you should. Even though it's lawful, you're just inviting trouble from NOPD who DGAF whether it's legal or not if they can arrest the dude and keep the peace. And he ends up sitting in central lockup and has to hire an attorney to clear everything up. Enjoy your rights!

Oh they’ll be hearing from his lawyer shortly unless they can hurry up and trump up the charges
It is covered in the article at the link.
New Orleans has an ordinance that makes permitted parades and events gun free zones for up to 1,000 feet from the event. Was passed after one of the Mardi Gras route shoot em ups.

Well that changes it, although I don’t trust that NOPD knew this when they arrested him. They’ll be saved by what amounts to a technicality

Considering the amount of parades and festivals they work, I would have to believe every cop knows the rule

You give NOPD too much credit

Sec. 54-342. Illegal possession of weapons at demonstrations
(b)
It shall be unlawful for any person, other than a law enforcement officer, to have in his possession or to have in any vehicle at a point within 1,000 feet of a demonstration at a public place any weapon after having first been advised by a law enforcement officer that a demonstration was taking place at a public place and after having been ordered by such officer to remove himself from the proscribed area until such time as he no longer is in possession of any weapon. This section shall not apply to any person in possession of any weapon in his private dwelling or place of business.
I also want to add....that is STRICTLY for the city of New Orleans. It doesn't apply to anywhere else in the state. That law for concealed carry is that you can't be attending a parade (actively participating)

City ordinance doesn't trump federal law. This doesn't end well for New Orleans. They got played and will pay.
