going to new orleans with a gun still a problem?

[gunz4me]

What was the officer's answer to your question?

He stuttered and mumbled a little bit then asked me if they were purchased at a gun dealer. Yes was the answer that day, (thank goodness).

Regardless, no drama, no weapons confiscation, and most importantly, no citations! I've since learned that even though I have a valid medical reason to tint my windows darker than the law allows along with multiple approved medical waivers over the years, the hassle of getting pulled over in the smaller towns just isn't worth it.

Wow. I hope he never reads the classifieds...

Still here after three full days. Even talked to cops! Drove into Treme (on accident, don't tell my husband), and had a FTF at IHOP (Spec did at any rate), guns haven't been an issue.

If it were you, would you have asked if his guns were registered? Not trying to be a smartass, but would you have asked that?

I would like to hear the answer too.

I think someone is having an identity crisis.

Too bad I can't access the thread referenced in this one.

You can legally have a gun in your car in the state of Texas.

It must be concealed. The law was changed a couple years ago. No more "must be traveling" and WTF constitutes "traveling."

So what gives with certain small town officers asking if guns are "registered" in Louisiana? Also, I will not name town/village police departments, so don't even bother asking!

It's not just small town PDs. I posted a month or so ago about being pulled over at Nicholson and Bluebonnet by a State Trooper "Thompson" who asked me if my pistol was registered. I looked at him and said, "We don't register guns in this state. You should know that." He backtracked a bit and said something like, "Well, did you buy it from a gun dealer?" I told him that "I bought all of my guns legally" and that seemed to be enough and he handed me back my license and sent me on my way. So even State Troopers ask those questions.

Yeah, if it's just a single comment I won't bother logging him off his own laptop. I just make sure people know it's me.

I thought this post was about taking a gun to NO.

Not if Louisiana had a gun registry or if the car was an extension of ur house crap.

In Texas if you were out of state in order to carry a gun in your vehicle you had to be on a bona fide journey which means your traveling through only stopping for food,fuel,bathroom etc.NO stopping to spend the night anywhere.
