No ordinance against it EXCEPT IN A BREC PARK. There is a city ordinance against firearms in a BREC park period. Its been on the books forever so it passes consitutional muster.

As he said Baton Rouge City Code Section 13:1011 forbids carrying any firearm in any City Park.

So if a law has been on the books for ever, then it passes constitutional muster? I bet the cops and lawyers on this site would say it takes more that that to pass constitutional muster.
For the record, I am not saying the law is unconstitutional. I am just saying time on the "books" is not a good measure stick.
To get a true answer, call your local police or prosecuting attorney.
I can find state and parish law but I can't find city. He is telling me city supersedes parish law and it is illeagal in baton rouge city.
Very true....There's probably still a few local laws on the books somewhere that says it's legal to burn a suspected witch!

I'd "burn" her three times, take a shower and eat a sandwich, then "burn" her again. I'm just sayin'.....

NO but there is a clause in the latest version of the LA constitution that says that no local government may pass laws resricting the right to keep and bear arms, unless that law was already on the books before this latest constitution which was passed in the 70's. Baton Rouges's Brec Park Ordinance passes constitutional muster because its been on the books since the 50's or earlier which is what I was refering to and most OC'rs on this board understand. Even the great MEM knows this and while he has complained about it, has not had one of his "Freedumb marches/rides" cause he knows he'll loose it in court. SO time on the books in this case is a good measuring stick.
I do not agree. Is there a law for vagrancy or vagrants still on books? I am just asking. IF, according to you, time on the books counted for anything, then the courts would not need to hear any cases about any constitutional issues, with any law that has been on the books since "70's"
So, again, time on the books is not a good measuring stick. I did not know about the clause you quoted above, thanks for the info, but that just states that no further local laws can be passed. It did not say.....hence forth, all previous passed laws are constitutional. If you can cite me one case where the constitutionality of this law has been tried and passed, then I would say your statement carries some weight but not necessarily your reasoning.
Your measuring stick is limp.
