This should add more fuel to the discussion about guns in school zones in Louisiana.

A man who called police and asked them to meet him in a Shreveport neighborhood had an array of weapons spread out on the trunk of his car. He's been arrested for possession of firearms in close proximity to an elementary school.

Police Department spokesman Sgt. Bill Goodin said John Wiese, 50, of Homer called police just before 9 a.m. and asked for a patrol supervisor to meet him in the 700 block of Thora Boulevard. He gave no more information, Goodin said.

The car was parked within 1,000 feet of South Highland Elementary Magnet School. State law prohibits possession of guns in close proximity to a school.
Police said they seized a bolt-action .308-caliber rifle, a semiautomatic .308-caliber rifle, two semiautomatic .22-caliber rifles, a .460-caliber Magnum revolver, a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol, a 12-gauge pump shotgun, 500 rounds of ammunition and a crossbow.

Wiese was booked on charges of carrying a firearm or dangerous weapon in a firearm-free zone.
There's no doubt he was within a thousand feet. He was either directly behind, or just off the corner from, the school property. Map of the area.
