I'm in agreement with most of what you say in this post, but I'd be wary of waving the Superdome around as a scarecrow...most of the wild stories in the press about what supposedly went on there turned out to be urban legend.

That said, in the same situation the cops would find it difficult to confiscate my legally owned weapons, as the NO cops seemed to think they were entitled to. Fortunately we now have some state laws explicitly forbidding that, with federal laws perhaps to follow.
