Do any of you know whether or not the National WW2 museum prohibits firearms on the campus?

I'm coming down for a visit next month and will be bringing my carry gun (G43X MOS w/ RMR and TLR-7a). I'd rather not leave it in my truck or the hotel room if I can avoid having to do so.

Thanks in advance.

It’s been a minute since I’ve been there but I was carrying. No metal detectors or security from what I remember. It’s amazing facility but it’s just like any other museum as you walk through the doors.

Looks for signage  

Enjoy it.

I was there last week. This is what I put in the tacked NOLA thread above in regards to carry at the museum.



The museum is private property as I understand it. It's definitely not a federal building so it's not subject to that prohibition.

ETA, the gentlemen at the table didn't have metal detector wands from what I could see but they had some small wood sticks, like a small drum stick. I don't know if those are for poking & prodding waistline etc? I imagine part of my success being waved in without much questioning is that I was there right as they opened and the line was fairly long. They likely didn't want to hold up the line for a clean cut average Joe that was well dressed. A rough looking guy acting "off" may have received more scrutiny. I can't really say.

ETA2, the way they have the tables and metal detectors setup is not conducive to sending a person through the detectors a 2nd time. I think as long as they see something that would have set it off they're happy. If I went back I would risk it again carrying and take a crummy pocket knife again. That way if they want to keep the knife they can have it.

Thanks for that info.

I think I'll just bring my lock box and leave it in the truck, rather than risk them being more diligent.

The wooden sticks are for poking around in purses and diaper bags , etc.

For more current information: they allow carry if you have a permit or are LEO. It’s not posted anywhere, but I called and asked before visiting today and had no issues.

ETA: which is a bit confusing given the no guns signs near the entrance when I got there. If you have doubts, call ahead and ask (though it may take some work to get a real human on the phone).
