MIssissippi Guy in the French Quarter

Dock Rocker said:

Hello everybody. I am a redneck in Cajun land. Is there anything in particular I need to know about carrying concealed in the French quarter and the surrounding areas? I have an enhanced carry permit in Mississippi.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I quit drinking years ago. Mostly here to see the World War II museum and eat. Is a class A reta permit a bar or what is it?

I'm an idiot. I was confusing the time I went to the insectarium on the same day. They had metal detectors.

This might be a thread hijack but what is a "enhanced carry permit"? Back when I lived around Jackson I had a MS permit and then there was only 1 and all you did to get it was get 3 pages notarized and go down the the highway patrol office on Woodrow Wilson and get your picture and fingerprints taken. There was no class. I tried googleing but all I come up with is places offering classes nothing explaining what it is.
