Louisiana is a free state. If you are over the age of 21 years old and don't have any felonies, you can get a CCW in about 3 days. NO AW ban.

Actually, no entirely true, New Orleans proper has an assualt weapons ban of sorts. No semi auto rifles are allowed to be sold or possesed within New Orleans city limits. Now understand, that New Orleans city limits is actually very small, the city itself is surrounded by "wards", very similar to neighborhoods or communities within a large city. Its a very interesting setup if you delve into it. But you are correct as far as the ccw stuff goes, not hard to get at all.

actually, a parish is the same as a county. They were named so by the original French / Spanish settlers (both Catholic) who based the civil organization around the local church boundaries.

The city's population is largely made up of relatively poor and uneducated minorities.....what did you expect?

I stand corrected, I meant to say "ward" instead of "parish"! Thanks for the quick notice! Original post Amended to reflect as such.

Heck, no, don't feel bad, the punk jumped on my *** for not being specific about the different AW laws in that state
