I-12 pretty much bypasses New Orleans, Traffic moves 75-80 or higher and I seldom see anyone pulled over, but I have seen some spectacular accidents many involving airborne tactics.KBCraig wrote:I suggest I-20 through Jackson. I-10 is currently closed between Baton Rouge and Lafayette and won't re-open until December (gas well explosion).
Plus, by taking I-20, you avoid the NOLA-area police. They have a bad reputation, well earned.

You really aren't that close New Orleans when you take I-12. You might want to familiarize yourself with the laws of the towns your going through, but the basics will serve you well.
Don't carry into a Casino. Biloxi casinos are a great place to stop for an overnight fine dining fancy hotels, at reasonable rates, even if you don't wish to gamble. Biloxi is pretty safe near the main areas. Its not New Orleans.
I believe you are fine going into restraunts that happen to serve liquer . Alabama you cant go to any public outdoor meeting armed. And in every state but Texas I would beware of the No guns sign. I can vouch for the Biloxi police being pretty CHL friendly.
Something happened and I10 east at Lafeyette. It is messed up, a gas leak or explosion and the main road is blocked till Dec. 4th. It should be cleared up by the time you leave though.
