The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution Thursday that asks the Legislature to consider a bill that would let people keep their guns during times of civil disorder.
Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, said he was appalled that police confiscated guns during the riotous days following Hurricane Katrina.
Officers used Gov. Kathleen Blanco's emergency declaration as its legal basis to seize firearms. "People who have legally obtained firearms shouldn't have them taken from them," Scalise said.
