Open Carry In Rouse's Slidell

[brewer3401]

Saw my first open carry today at Rouse's - maybe I've been living under a rock, but other than the range, I have not seen any open carry in public.

Wearing shorts, polo shirt tucked in, and button retention holster.

Very neat, compact and discrete - he had checked out, so apparently no one freaked seeing him with an exposed gun.

Is open carry that "common" and I just don't notice ?

I believe its more uncommon in public. I havent seen it all that much but a few months back they did have four guys walk into academy open carrying looking for ammo.

At least he seems to have conducted himself well and performed his OC in a responsible manner. Points for that.

I open carry daily in Shreveport.

I think I've only seen it a couple times in Lafayette, "in the wild" and it was pretty professional looking people neatly dressed.

I've done it, before I got my CHP, but didn't ever have anyone freak out. Couple people asked if I was a cop. No one was bothered by the fact that I wasn't, though a time or two it was asked if it was legal.

I saw a group of derps open carrying at chimes in Covington last week. Bet ya'll didn't know Chimes has a Class A beverage permit.

Anyone want to 'fess up?

 

[brewer3401]

Does Chimes derive over 50% of it's revenue from food ?

Were they Covington PD?

You bet your ass they do. But if they didn't it would not matter one bit. Once ATC designates it, thats all thats needed.

James Cannon, is that you?

 

[JNieman]

James Cannon, is that you?

Well... yea, but I don't get the relevance.

I do not know why this word always makes me laugh!

Oh I thought you were back to your trolling ways.

The class a only applies to CHP right?

Granted, i am not sure how you would "know" what percentage someone takes in from alcohol in a legal sense, but for OC, they simply need to not take in 51% from alcohol and you can carry regardless of permit.

That said, most places with a Class AG would sell more liquer right?

For OC, LRS 14:95.5 states anywhere that sells alcohol for consumption on premises, whether the amount of alcohol sales is primary or incidental.

Too late, bearco got it.

Now i'm totally confused - see highlight, then link below:

§95.5. Possession of firearm on premises of alcoholic beverage outlet
A. No person shall intentionally possess a firearm while on the premises of an alcoholic beverage outlet.
B. "Alcoholic beverage outlet" as used herein means any commercial establishment in which alcoholic beverages of either high or low alcoholic content are sold in individual servings for consumption on the premises, whether or not such sales are a primary or incidental purpose of the business of the establishment.

I wish everyone could get on the same book, much less same page.

This seems to contradict Subsection 95.5

Any feedback ?
