In the event of disaster as provided in this chapter, the Mayor or, in the Mayor's absence, the Director is empowered to do the following:
A. Make and issue orders which shall have the force of law on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such disaster; provided, however, such orders must be confirmed at the earliest practicable time, and in any event not more than 24 hours after their issuance, by the emergency services council; such orders shall include but not be limited to the following:
(9) An order prohibiting the carrying or possession of firearms or any instrument which is capable of producing bodily harm and which is carried or possessed with the intent to use the same to cause such harm; provided, that any such order shall not apply to peace officers or military personnel engaged in the performance of their official duties,
Is this the same thing that Katrina squashed for us? Seems to me that it is still active code and should be either pre-empted by 290 on the state level or (42 U.S.C. 5205) SEC. 706. FIREARMS POLICIES.(a) on the federal level.
