SAF AND NEW ORLEANS REACH AGREEMENT ON RETURN OF FIREARMS
CONFISCATED DURING KATRINA
SAF has negotiated an agreement with New Orleans regarding the
firearms seized from lawful firearm owners during and after
Hurricane Katrina. The issue is pending before the federal court
in the case NRA & SAF v. Mayor Ray Nagin.
On March 15, 2006, lawyers for both sides informed the court that
positive settlement negotiations were occurring. New Orleans has
now confirmed 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:
Telephone number 504-658-5503
Mailing address:
New Orleans Police Department
Property and Evidence
400 North Jefferson Davis Parkway
New Orleans, LA 70119
Go in person to the same address. This is where the firearms are
located.
Please be patient inasmuch 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 successful or
unsuccessful, SAF would be interested in hearing your comments on
what occurred. Please contact SAF at (425) 454-7012 or send an e-
mail to:
Sincerely yours,
