Open Carry in NO. Need help.

Hey guys, I'm back! Need a little bit of info. I'm going down to visit my maw maw at Tulane where she's recovering from a liver transplant. I know I can't OC in the hospital, but my mom wants to go walking around while the rest of the family watches football. So, we'll be walking around the area surrounding the hospital. I need to know what I need to be wary of when OCing in that general area. School zones and such. Not OCing isn't an option either. I will not be caught anywhere near the Big Nasty without a way to protect myself.
Thanks in advance for the help.

The biggest thing to be wary of in New Orleans is NOPD. If you OC down there expect to have a big hassle and probably a shakedown.

That's a fact. Those guys are insane.

Things I would do if I was planning to open carry in an unknown area, a copy of the receipt for your gun in you have one, a copy of the La. court rulings on open carry, a copy of an article on Marks open carry case. Contact the commander of the police district in the area and inform him of your plans and see if he acknowledges your right to open carry, the local police should be able to tell you of any known school zones in the area but drive around the area your self just in case.

Unless you want a big hassle and your life possibly threatened, I would suggest CC instead of OC in Orleans. NOPD are not known for following the law.
