Here's an account by a Marines baw from NOLA who worked the aftermath:

quote:
Yes, some guns were confiscated in New Orleans, LA (NOLA) following hurricane Katrina, but it was nowhere near as widespread as some would have you believe. They were isolated incidents and the majority of those were done by out of town LEO and MIL.

quote:
Yes, guns were taken, but with my own eyes, the overwhelming majority of those criminal and unethical acts, which is still a small number, were done by out of state LEO and military. These military members were primarily 18-21 year old reservists who thought they were coming down to help fill sandbags and clean roadways, but were instead thrust into law enforcement roles with little training and even less leadership.

Given the number of gun owners in Nola on us site I’m sure if it’s true someone has first hand experience if it happened

I found this but didn't put too much effort into the search

The NRA filed a lawsuit of Katrina gun confiscations. In the article it does say the police claim they only took guns from abandoned homes and stolen guns.
