Headed down for a long weekend soon.

Just read the rules, ok, skimmed the rules. 52 pages.

Can’t carry in a bar.

Kinda rules out half the city, no?

And the permitting process?

Oy vey!

You want to carry in N.O. New Orleans is one of the top 50 cities in the entire world for murders per capita. I think the are #4 in the US. It is not for a lack of trying. There is a reason why the first 48 films in New Orleans

Be highly suspicious of anyone approaching you and engaging in conversation.  If they are talking to you, they want something from you. Money, clothes, valuables, etc.

I’d imagine the rules aren’t much different from the rest of Louisiana, but I could be mistaken.

As others have said, I wouldn’t even casually glance down the road in the direction of New Orleans without a double stack automatic on me. Think about a braced AR slung up under a trench coat.

Last time I was driving in New Orleans I made sure that the windows were up, the doors were locked, and the Glock went from the holster to under my thigh until we were back on the freeway at 70 mph.

I’ve from LA and have been to Nola 50+ times. If you don’t go to the wrong area, you are fine. There are rarely issues in the tourist areas, and cops are aplenty there.

That said, carry when traveling but do not carry if you are going to drink. The cops don’t play with drinking and CCW and you are likely to get pulled aside just for being in the general direction of a drunk ahole that gets the cops attention. I’ve seen it several times. I even saw a guy get arrested for a concealed knife while drinking

In New Orleans, the bars are exactly the areas you want to carry in.

Is it Canal St where all the local shit goes down? It's a weird town. I've seen cops in restaurants working security do some really weird shit, open air drug sales in the middle of the day on Jackson Square. And mind you, I've only been there a handful of times for a day or two. And seriously, the women are out there, trying to engage you in some sort of something that I didn't want any part of. I was literally followed by two young girls in an SUV for half a block who wouldn't leave me alone. I finally cut down a street that didn't allow car traffic to get away from them.

When I was living in New Orleans in the seventies and eighties, carry permits were difficult to acquire.
The laws were such that each jurisdiction required you to have a permit to be legal, and each had different requirements.

As it turns out, I ended up getting five separate concealed carry permits....New Orleans, Jefferson Parish,
St. Tammany Parish, Slidell, and finally...a Louisiana State permit. None were easy, all required a bond, each
was issued at the discretion of the issuing authority.
To this day, I am probably the only person ever issued that many permits.

I was a few blocks away when that went down.  It looked like Canal St. a few blocks up from Walgreens was completely blocked off afterwards.

This.  Fortunately the cuisine stretches down a strip on the Gulf Coast so I can get most of the same food in Mobile, but it is a pretty fun place to go from time to time. The WW2 museum, Civil War museum and aquarium are awesome.

Fortunately, I know somebody that fell for that one years ago, but I’m naturally suspicious anyway.  Good rule of thumb is that anyone walking up to strike up a conversation in NO is wanting some money.

I spent Christmas day to New Year's day down there.  I'm headed down there again tomorrow for 6 days of fun.  I'll be going back in May for a concert.  We already have a hotel booked for Halloween.

I carry any time we are not headed to a bar so I don't carry all that much but I carry as much as possible.  For example, lunch at Elizabeth's - I'm carrying.  My wife wants to take pictures in the park - I will be carrying.

When we hit Bourbon Street, we don't wander up and down aimlessly.  We are only on the street when we are moving between a bar and/or a restaurant.  And going between bars usually means we are walking with the band members from the bar we are leaving.

If you want to go to Frenchman's Street, the path to get there is getting dangerous.  The state police have run most of the gutter-punks off Bourbon and they settled on Decatur.  My wife and I will usually wait for a group of people to head that way and tag along.
