Anyone downtown between 1 and 3 pm may get to see the Kidd firing blanks from it's guns on the Port Allen side. Filming for Tom Hanks movie Greyhound.

Not live rounds targeting the casino boat? That's a shame.

Are the Alton Sterling protests that out of hand?

Some rounds towards North BR might be beneficial

I'll probably walk by in a little bit. Was running the levee a few weekends ago and they were test firing then. Super cool to see

He said the Port Allen side, not the North Baton Rouge side.

i bet there are some local SJW nutjobs itching to post on facebook about how the gunshots gave them PTSD of when another young innocent harmless black man was gunned down by the wicked racist KKK BRPD.

I would actually love to see this. If it was on the weekend or something I would definitely make a trip there just to watch.

I remember the Kidd firing her guns back in 1991 during a mock attack by some "Zeros" during an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. They were pretty loud. Any other baws there that day?

Damn it doesn't seem like it was almost 30 fricking years ago.

Yea they don't do the mock dog fights anymore for 4th of July. But they still do a flyover and fire the guns. It's pretty cool.

When I was maybe 8-10 yrs old in 1984 or so, they went all out with the mock battle. I remember a machine gun nest/battery set up on the river bank(BR side and you could up on the levee behind them and watch them fire at planes over head. That left an indelible image in my brain as a kid. BAD arse!
