New Orleans to Return Seized Guns
By SuppressedNews
Posted on: March 18, 2006
The NRA has negotiated an agreement with New Orleans regarding the firearms seized from lawful owners during and after Hurricane Katrina. The issue is pending before the federal court in the case NRA v. Mayor Ray Nagin.
On March 15, 2006, lawyers for both sides informed the court that
positive settlement negotiations were occurring. After months of stonewalling, the city of New Orleans has now admitted that it holds a number of firearms, and that owners of firearms which may have been confiscated may contact the Property and Evidence Division of the New Orleans Police Department in any of the following ways: by telephone, at (504) 658-5503; by mail, sent to: New Orleans Police Department,
Property and Evidence, 400 North Jefferson Davis Parkway, New Orleans, LA 70119; or in person at the same address. Please be patient as
records are incomplete, and the police are currently understaffed.
Records are most accessible if you can supply your gun's serial number.
Claims can be made based on proof of ownership, or, lacking such
documents, an affidavit that the item belongs to you. For those who go
through the above process, whether successfully or unsuccessfully, NRA
would be interested in hearing your comments on what occurred. Please
contact NRA Grassroots at 800-392-8683 or by email at
