WW2 Museum New Orleans Concealed Carry
Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2025 4:44 pm
I visited the WW2 Museum in New Orleans, LA for the first time and was pleasantly surprised that you could conceal carry with TX LTC!
I walked in the red light on the metal detector went off, the gal at the security desk waived me over. She asked if I had knives or guns!
I said "Of course" and produced my TX LTC. She asked me to see my gun! So I raised my shirt up a little and she wrote my name in special book and that was it.

The following exceptions to the firearms policy apply:
Armed private security contracted by the Museum.
Law enforcement officers (federal, state, parish, and municipal) on official business. If applicable, uniforms must be worn. If the law enforcement officer is not on duty, or is in civilian attire, the weapon must remain concealed at all times. If observed, they will be asked to conceal the weapon.
Citizens in possession of a Concealed Carry Permit (CCP) recognized by the State of Louisiana (Museum security will check credentials). The following State permits are NOT recognized by Louisiana and therefore cannot bring their weapon on campus: California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Rhode Island. Museum policy does not allow military veterans to carry concealed weapons on campus without an authorized CCP. The weapon must remain concealed at all times.

Good to know. I've been wanting to go there but don't like the idea of disarming in NOLA.
