Does this go against current La. laws on guns being allowed in a restaurant?
As originally written, the legislation would have just forbid guns on the premises of establishments with permits to serve alchohol, but Councilwoman Michele Branigan mentioned a case last weekend when a man was arrested after allegedly wielding a knife on a Kenner dance floor.
So the council amended the legislation to forbid "any dangerous weapon as defined in the state criminal code."
Councilwoman Maria DeFrancesch said she had been approached by some bar owners worried that the law wouldn't allow them to have a gun. "They had some questions about protecting themselves if something happened in their property," she said.
The council then excepted owners, legal custodians and lessees from the prohibition against weapons.
Stagni said the law means that security officers cannot have weapons.
