Just the way it is in the land of milk and honey...........

Can you expand upon this a bit? What are the Louisiana statutes that make the area off limits? And do they apply to off duty LEO as well as license holders as the sign suggests. The Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit pamphlet says that private property owners may ban CHP holders from carrying on their property, but it doesn't suggest what action the property holder needs to take to enforce this, whether posting a sign is sufficient, etc.

It being on the Boardwalk in Bossier City, I thought I'd better check just to make sure it was legal to carry there. Come to find out the entire Board walk, with the exception of the Bass Pro Shop, is illegal to carry on, unless you are a police officer ON DUTY.

If you were a police officer OFF DUTY the Federal Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act (LEOSA) would generally override state law prohibitions on carry. Not familiar enough with Louisiana law to understand whether these signs have legal effect. You might go over to Louisiana forum on handgunlaw.us.
