Bass Pro Not Shipping Ammunition or Firearm Parts to New Orleans

WTH? Why would Bass Pro exclude New Orleans?

I say Boycott Bass Pro Shop until they lift this prohibition.

Strange, they deny whole states, yet we are the only city they single out.

I didn't know there was a bass pro in New Orleans

There isn't but there's one in denham springs

Makes perfect sense to me. Once all the monuments that cause all the crime are removed there will be no need for guns and ammo in the chocolate city. Unlock your doors and walk the streets at night without fear of being assaulted. It's going to be awesome.

Sounds like a strange thing for Bass Pro to do.
Mebbie Mitch declared an "Executive Order."

I emailed them, probably will just get a generic response but we will see.

Maybe too many instances of packages getting stolen off porches? I live in Orleans parish and one time the mail man wouldn't deliver my package and made me pick it up at the post office. It was from radical firearms, and Bc the package said "firearms" they didn't want to bring it to my house. Mind you, I live in a very safe neighborhood

Basspro is probably boycotting New Orleans for removing the historical monuments.

Well now that the monuments are gone all the killing will stop and all everyone will get along .

I sure hope so.

Before jumping on a boycott bandwagon, lets see what their response is. It very well maybe they are indeed boycotting NOLA.

My boycott of that crap hole is 3years strong!

Same here, Haven't been back since 05

The only time I have been back is to visit my Grandparents grave and then because it is in the French Quarter I keep my Ruger 40 with me.

If we don't stand together, we stand divided.

Next it could be a prohibition on cow pastures, or River Parishes.

#BoycottBassProShops

No one here deals with them. The boycott already exists.

Seems a little odd they wont ship to NOLA. I'm interested to learn why. Then I will decide weather or not to stop spending money there.

This might be why, like in the link related to Pittsburgh - source: municode.com, New Orleans municipal ordinances
