Does anyone have pictures of private lawabideing citizens carrying weapons in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, prefferably in New Orleans?....

there was a picture of Sean Penn carrying a shotgun. I saw it in the motivational poster thread with a "hypocricy" tag line
|
|
he lives in NO? isn't he a felon? |

I'd bet a Google would get you what you seek.
You, like many have a real mis-perception of what NOLA and other areas were like. MS, where I was (Mostly)...It was CCW..Or open carry. It was assumed ifyou went looting in that property, you were gettin dead. NOLA......Ok..I understand people...outsiders...(I was one...still am, but, know what I saw)..The trouble happened in the city. In the "Suburbs" the Parrish Presidents said....."F'You."....We're shutting this Parrish down." It involved alot of random deputizing. |

Yup..I know. But she was a law abiding citizen. I hope she wins a huge settlement! |

There was one cool one posted here- Looked like a guy sitting down in the French Quarter holding a FAL outside a business.
ETA also a long post about a guy evacuating with his wife. Had pics in his apt of an AR. IIRC |

You can try a search on the NRA site fro more pics. Here is the video link to the old lady getting pushed around and her firearm stolen. http://www.nraila.org//news/multimedia/Player.aspx?ID=61

what do you want them for? I have a ton of them - but it'd be a pain to dig them all up. If it's for some worthy cause (i.e. school project or something), let me know. |

A buddy of mine was down there with a clean up crew when the SHTF and he ended up guarding a hospital for about a week to keep Lootie away from the residents and the drugs. His boss gave him a 1911 and he spent several nights up on the roof guarding the goods. He ended up getting fired when everything cleared because the company doesn't allow employees to carry while on the job. His boss said there wasn't anything he could do about the rules and bought him a bus ticket home. Pretty screwed up deal...

Both curiosity, and to maybe use in a website i've been building, they would be used to highlight citizens useing there weapons to defend themselves, it'll be awhile before it's up though.... |

If it wasnt for the "new media" the internet - we would not know half the SHT that went on in N.O - the "old media" would of blacked it out
|
|
RustedAce : holy crap , did any of the gand bangers during the flood try any SHT with your dad ? |
|

FOX news , yea , my point - why not the rest of em ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, ect.-- but Sean Penn gets a pass , WHY ?--these same news outlets love to demonize "lone right wing white males with guns" - i disagree with you that his gun was not loaded - as he is not as stupid and nieve as you think - like the rest of the commies out there - they think they are the eliete ruling class and the rules dont apply to them with respect to guns & every thing else |

Ive been down here pulling contract work, and have had the chance to go to several different gunstores. One in Gretna, 6 miles from downtown, is a Money trap. They had good firearms, but their lowest price for a base glock19 NIB was $595. No night sights.
Gretna gun werks 1)Bravo: for having quality guns. Boo: for having too much mark up. 25$ armags, 595$ glock 19s, Bushmaster ar15 a4 $995, $595 su-16. Etc Etc... 2)Bravo: for having a gun range. Boo: You can only become a member if you buy a pistol from them, and because theyare selling somany firearms post Katrina they have suspended that rule, and closed the range. 3)Bravo: for preventing straw sales Boo: For telling a young woman (Black) " No that there is a 45acp glock 21. It too much gun. I wo'nt sell that to a woman. I will only sell her .380 or a 9mm. She can not even pull the slide back on a gun that big." Said with dripping distate for the race. 4)Bravo: for having fine colectables. Boo: for having tags on them that say not for sale. You would think they would get normal prices, and enjoy the profit. WTF? And the best is a sign that reads " Transfers cost $50 or 10% of the blue book value of the weapon. Which ever is more." Now on the other side of the coin in Metarie: The Shooters Club, 501 David Drive, Metairie, LA 70003. Phone: 504-733-1295 Great little gunshop and range. If it is busy you have to wait in-line for the three bay range, but they have good prices, and an excelent selection of new and used equipment. Rifles and pistols are a standard 10% - 15% profit margin. They have LOTS of highend pistolas, and ARs pluss SKS, Aks Etc. I went today, and got two Serpa holsters I wanted for 82$, and some extra ammo for my makarov. Had a great time, and found nearly all prices matched what I would pay online. So go save the cost of shipping and get your gear there. And On a Monday afternoon I saw three Glocks being sold in less than two hours. And Lots of people in the store. So the Louisiana public in general is never going to be under gunned again. Glad to see them opening their eyes, and arming themselves. |

Yeah, but will they allow themselves to be disarmed next time?

CAN YE SMELL IT??? |
