The museum recently put up signs advising its designation as a “safe school zone,” which would mean carrying guns within 1,000 feet of the building would be prohibited. The Current reported this week that the concentration of schools in Downtown Lafayette effectively put the district off limits. The same goes for areas around UL. Precinct Capt. David LeBlanc, whose precinct covers the Downtown area, sent an email Tuesday telling officers not to enforce the rule due to legal concerns. You can read the story here. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading. |
