"The committee voted 4-0 in favor of moving the ordinance to the full Council."

The part about displaying in a way that is upsetting could be construed to be used against OC. I'm not a huge open carry fan but I like to have the option....

It's New Orleans. The city has never been gun friendly to anyone. No surprise there. State law supersedes City law so if you do get into a situation with NOPD, just be cordial and non-combative. Please Please Please keep your mouth shut. Follow the instructions and fight it in court. You won't win it in the street. I have had some positive and negative interactions with NOPD but I remind myself they are human and have to deal with some of the less than stellar wildlife that live in certain parts of the city. That **** can wear on a person. It's not personal although it may seem like it at first. Last thing we as 2nd Amendment loving citizens need is to add fuel to the poorly informed Liberal machine to do what it does best..... Weaken America.

...and banning guns with serial numbers removed. Super glad that "they" thought we needed that in a city ordinance.

So no ghost guns? What am I going to do with all my 30caliber clips?

This sounds like a Bad law written by Stupid people. I know that it isn't the exact wording of the law but How can you tell if a member of the public feels threaten by how you carry your gun. The gun owner has to Know what makes Mr John Q Dumbass feel is unsafe? Thats a lot of leeway for the LEO & prosecutors to eather release someone or lock him up for months. All over the same insistent.
Next if your are the victim of a crime and don't report soon enough for Mitch, You are now the Criminal!
And last if you build a 80% AR with out a s/n you are in possession of an illegal firearm!
But in JP, SBP & STP all is good and you are not a Criminal.
Thanks Mitch.

Just what part of the ordinance is going to "help stop the flow" of guns into the city? "Look at me, I'm legislating!"

How do they plan to get around the state preemption law? Paging Dan Z.

LACamper · Sep 4, 2016

Glad they removed the part about guns without serial numbers. That would have made quite a few antiques illegal.

This from the city who's police chief believes gun's are required to be registered.

Says remove. What does that have to do with a so called [ENTER SCARY WORD] "Ghost Gun"

I believe that has been a Federal law since the 1960's
Does Mitch think he has had a great "new" idea ?
Guess it makes him look good for people that don't know.

I may have misunderstood but is part of the ordinance about making sure gun theft is reported within 48 hours?
If that is true then what exactly is the problem they are trying to address? Don't people typically report robberies? What am I missing here?

The claim is that unscrupulous persons unknown are buying LOTS of guns as straw purchases for all of the street crooks. Then when the guns turn up at a crime scene, the straw purchaser says, "Oh, my bad. That gun was stolen."

If this has really been happening a lot, wouldn't it be more efficient to monitor the suspected straw purchaser and then drop the hammer on him for some serious federal crime, as is already authorized?

BTW, it passed; and one council member said that he did not love guns, but was "holding back" in deference to state law.

Is there any documented case of this?

Sounds like he is trying to implement California laws here in La. They have made 80% builds illegal unless you have a serial number supplied by the CADOJ. Also you must now register all assault weapons(their words) and they cannot be transferred even in the event of your death to your heirs. Starting sometime soon they will also be implementing background checks for ammo purchases.

This law is stupid and will be hard to enforce. Just another waste of taxpayer's time and money. Say I'm at the office in Harahan and one of my guns come up stolen out the ahhhh... panel van. They cant make me report that in Orleans Parish when it happened in Jefferson if I don't want to file a report. Also what happens when the original owner has sold it and its been resold a few times, then someone steels it out my ahhh... panel van. Giant waste of time. But you know the hand ringgers have to do something.

Whitebread, what are you saying?
Do you live in a Van down by the River?
That kind of logic is for lawyers, not for Councilmen.

So, lets say someone has carried into a movie theater, or similar place in the past (that has a no weapons sign - lets say, a very small one)
Now it's illegal (and an actual crime vs. being asked to leave) due to NOLA city law ?
These people in office must be way smarter than me, because a huge amount of what they do does not make any sense to me.
Guess I should have stayed in Political Science in college.
7 years of college down the drain.
