Question is, of course, about gun laws. We will have our AZ CCW permits by then, (March sometime), which the various sites say is honored in LA. I would like to know if there would be any issue with an AR in the trunk, carrying more than one pistol, (sometimes I carry a BUG here in AZ), ammo restrictions, (is M855 considered Armor Piercing there?), and any specific laws I really need to be aware of? I am looking forward to brief visit, (one to two days), to your fine state and I want to be a polite and respectful guest while I am there. Thank you for your replies.

With you Arizona concealed carry is permit you are good to CCW here
For you AR, you can carry it in the passenger seat if you want
Carry number of pistols, you do you man.
And the M855 ammo it is sold here at every major sporting goods retailer for less than $15 a box.
Only two major laws, you need to be aware of.
Can not carry in a bar.
Can not carry in any place that already has armed security. (hospitals, churches, casinos)
Good rule of thumb if they check you ID on the way in, you can not carry there.
Natchitoches, is a small, VERY old college town.
The river front is them area with Ma'ma & Pa'pa's being my favorite restaurant down there.
I can make more recommendations for places to go to & eat in the Shreveport area.
Also in March, take you allergy pills !!! start a few days before your trip!!!
The weather in March can be everything. From, cold! to rainy, to some of the best weather ever!!! All in the same week.
