I’ve been reading reports of pets being rescued by authorities in Louisiana, which is good, but are guns being taken out of evacuated homes by the authorities too?
In 2005, during the Hurricane Katrina recovery, authorities were going into flooded homes in New Orleans and taking legally owned firearms out of those houses, and then were slow in returning them to their owners once the owners returned home to begin cleaning up.
The NRA and Second Amendment Foundation sued New Orleans and then settled when the city agreed to return the firearms to their legal owners.
Question: with all the flooding happening in Louisiana over the last week or so, are guns being taken from homes again? If this is becoming a standard procedure, it should probably be standard procedure for homeowners to take their firearms with them as they evacuate their homes.
Yet they don’t seem to want armed citizens in emergency shelters.
I think they need to have a written procedure on what to do with firearms if an emergency situation requires a speedy evacuation. They need to hash all of this out and come up with an acceptable plan.
