We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I'm pretty sure it's a BREC facility which would make it a Gun Free Zone. Not 100% sure.
Yep, it's BREC. See- http://www.brzoo.org/explore.cfm/home/donorslinks/?s=1000149 . I can't find any list of rules or policies but I'd err on the side of caution and not carry at all or conceal and hope it doesn't get noticed.

All BREC facilities are gun-free by ordinanace which pre-dates the statewide pre-emption law. Only criminals may have guns there. And cops.
There are, however, several of the large apes on display who would be better qualified to carry than some people I know.

I find it highly amusing to read some of the posts here, throwing up these ludicrous municpal codes which are used to mislead the readers into thinking it trumps the state constitution.

You don't know much about Louisiana do you?

More than a few NOPD officers I've spoken with are adamant that Orleans Parish law overrides state law. "The Constitution doesn't apply here--this is New Orleans".
