My CCW is honored in LA. Is it a no go since I will be FEMA employee to tuck 'er away in my bladetech IWB?
My common sense says prolly bad juju and I would get a quick trip back home. I have a call in to them for formal verification - but as I am packing now, I'd like to know whether to save room for the lock box to check on the plane...

take your gun. conceal it untill you need it. If you need it, you can walk away without a job. If you dont have it....you might loose more than the job. be safe

We go to ATL first for breifing and training, and I'm a bit reluctant to carry on Federal property...dunno if where we are going will be metal detectored or not - but I also really dislike being dead.
 I'm going under the request for firefighters - which is community outreach for getting disaster aid... which may put us in BFE w/ no one around. |

Do you have a pocket knife and a colapsible baton? It is what I would do. Odds are you will have an armed escort if it is hairy anyway.

That's funny. My common sense tells me that if I can't pack in an area rife with violence and crime I wouldn't leave home to begin with. I would tell them if a gun is a deal breaker they must not need me that bad. |

A friend of mine is with FEMA and has been in Baton Rouge for two days. He is former LEO and did not take his pistol. He said it was a big no-no, and he didn't want to jeopardize a great paying temporary job.

I work for FEMA also. It is a huge NO-NO. Especially if you have to go into a DRC or JFO, where will you put your piece?

There’s absolutely no way they’ll let you carry while on-duty.
OTOH, if you’re off duty and not on federal property, you should be OK. Problem is storage while on-duty. Plus, I suspect you’ll be so busy that off-duty will be pretty much reserved for sleeping. |

That's pretty much the decision I've reached. I'll feel it out when I'm down there and if I feel it's OK I'll <try> and procure something there.. |

You will have a rental car eventually. It is government property. You can't carry it in the vehicle. That is one of the quickest ways out the door of FEMA. I have seen people get "let go" over pepper spray. Good news is that MERS has US Marshalls as escorts.
