Louisiana AG, New Orleans Police Superintendent Spar Over Carry Law
It’s not unusual for states to pass pro-gun laws and big-city bureaucrats disagree with those laws. What is uncommon, however, is for police leaders to get into a public spat with the state attorney general over such laws.
That’s what happened recently in Louisiana when New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick decided that the carry laws passed by the state just weren’t right for her city.
Kirkpatrick has a beef with the state law that allows open carry of firearms without gun owners being forced to jump through government hoops and pay a fee just to practice their rights.
