What "rights" are you referring to? Bass Pros right to control sales? NOLA residents right to buy firearms (BP certainly isn't the only vendor in the area)?

None so far from my query.
So far I found this: State preemption did allow for laws/ordinances in effect before 7/15/85 to be grandfathered.
So, Now I need to determine the date of the ordinance, and then figure out if it violates the State Preemption.
At least I know I wasn't imagining the State Preemption.

boycotts only serve to show how week a position you really have.
So before you commented (with attitude and condescension I might add) below, Austin mentions that if people don't like BPS policy on shipping then SINCE THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS TO BPS PRODUCTS YET IF THEY LOVE THEIR PRODUCTS SOOO MUCH perhaps they just move to a different area. You then ask him why he is advocating that people surrender their RIGHTS...I point out (in the form of a question to you) what Austin alluded to which is NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BPS PRODUCTS because you seemed confused about that. Then you respond below which is a complete 180 from what you said above. Congrats.
I agree, the only RIGHT you have in this matter is to choose whom you will do business with, and boycott/petition the ones you don't like....which was my exact point earlier.
Yep! Unless someone gets a definitive official response from BP, there are a bazillion (slight exaggeration), other businesses around the country that sell what they sell.
Lies!
I know some fat rednecks that will tell you that's a lie! Where else are you gonna buy $5 Bass Pro t-shirts and fudge!?!?!

This was the response I got, not a really useful answer.

I agree bass pro is mostly a novelty and people who dont have one close by are typically the ones going. Its usually because their prices arn't all that competative and the charm of all the decor has worn off. In the years to come you will see them shift there business model to stay in business or they will begin to struggle. Occasionally you find a good deal but until I bought my dmps a few weeks back every gun I priced on Bass Pro's site have been 10-20% higher than average local prices. I wont even compare to online gun shops.
I think y'all took my lighthearted comment a little too seriously. I will rephrase:
1) I have been to New Orleans. If BP not shipping to you is your biggest concern in life, you should probably turn the local news on.
2) If you don't like BP not shipping to you - shop elsewhere. You can throw a rock and hit a retailer who has better prices.
3) If you are that eager on buying from BP, move somewhere else.
I just think that making a big deal out of them not shipping certain products to NOLA is a waste of time. They likely won't change their mind based on a minority who want to buy those products, and frankly there are so many better places to buy said products that it is a waste of time for people to even raise the issue.
I love BP for one thing - browsing products in person before I buy them online. It sure is great at that!
