Since the OP has already addressed the issue with the Capt., I am not at liberty discuss SOP.

i guess that means SOP is to arrest open carriers, huh

Hey thanks, Spanky. Guys. When you use an abbreviation, please be considerate of us old guys who don't know them, and explain it just one time. Thanks.

+1 multiplied by the highest number anyone could ever think of

I bet that sweet little old lady busted out a Jedi Mind trick. They can be dangerous.

I wonder how DSPD would respond if a group of us showed up OC'ing?

It would seem their response would be a paddy wagon.
Followed by the receipt of several dozen Federal lawsuits over violation of civil rights.

That would not be fun...

GILF...with tube socks filled with sand?

Anyhow, why not (after hearing back from the PD) take the issue to the DA for some sort of opinion or guidance. I agree that it sounds like the PD is publicly intimidating and it sounds illegal but you've got to fight it on his terms. And be prepared for the backlash if you do. If you get an opinion from the prosecutor, you know that whatever happens, you don't have anything to worry about. But you can also bet that the Chief is going to make life difficult for you if you put it in his face. Ain't right, but would you rather be smart or right?

I'm just sayin...if we think about this like a card game. High stakes poker. The Chief has already showed you his cards. You know what his game is.
If you go to the DA with this scenario, describe it with all that you know to be true and the DA says 'he can't do that and I'm not going to enforce it because it ain't legal' you've got a choice. You know you've got the trump card in your hand and that it's a done deal. The Chief is bluffing and you know it. Your choice is to play the hand out just to watch the cards fall or sit back and smile and wait for the stakes to go up before you drop your trump. It's your play and your back is covered.

Sounds like you've been around DH enough to know how things go. If even his officer chooses not to respond (and rightly so) you ought to know what the game is. If you know the rules (whether they're book rules or not) you've got a choice. Might ultimately be an important lawmaking precedent choice that affects all of us. Might not be. I'd pray long and hard about it if it was me. Motives count. If it's hard balled pride against pride, it's one thing. If it's about dismantling inappropriate intimidation and maybe establishing a true 'law of the land', it's something completely different.

Are any of the city council for DS pro 2A? They're usually pretty approachable... Maybe present them with a letter addressed to the mayor or CFO and to the DA?

I live in Slidell so he ain't going to make my life too hard As for the suggestions; I appreciate it. I'm formulating a game plan now. However, my highest priority is to cut my grass!

I live in Denham and this really pisses me off. Life has been laid back for years around here and I dont like hearing this. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I know quite a few people.

 

[SimonJester308]

I think this kind of stuff will be going on all around the country no matter how the supreme court rules. Seems like the civilian disarmament crowd has decided to take the fight to the local level, which is where we can best defeat them. But it cant be done playing a defensive strategy.

 

[meauxcg]

I carry in DS every time I go.. This looks like a call should be made to the NRA.

 

[spanky]

Any updates, Penguin?

I am not in DS much anymore, but I have been OCing there when I am there for the last 6 months, no problems, haven't so much as seen a cop though
