I would have to find them again but I seem to remember published reports of people who have claimed they were indeed on their own property with lawfully owned weapons when the NOPD confiscated them. Judge Carl J. Barbier ruled to hold Mayor Nagin and Police Superintendent Riley in contempt for failure to provide initial disclosures and answers to discovery in a lawsuit that was filed. War zone or no, people's constitutional rights cannot be trampled upon. We will see how this turns out in the courts. I'm more than willing and able to give NOPD the benefit of the doubt on this, but I can understand the distrust the citizens of New Orleans have towards the police force there. The NOPD's past doesn't help. There are already many court cases in process relating to things happening during and after Katrina including this 2nd amendment issue. Police officers pacing murder charges, insurance companies being sued for noncoverage and in some case, being accused of fraud, etc. It's going to take a long time for N.O. to be rebuilt and it's going to be much longer before the court battles end. If they ever end. “Warren Riley was also on the show and stated that the N.O.P.D. did not confiscate weapons from persons if they were in or on their own property and had licenses for said weapons.”
