Going on vacation to the big easy for new years and we're driving. I have a CCW permit and have checked the forums and it appears that texas and louisiana both honor the oklahoma permit. Probably won't carry much while actually in new orleans due to the fact that i like to drink, but will have it in the car for the trip. Any good or bad experiences by anyone? Any tips or things anyone else has learned that i should be aware of?
Anything I need to be aware of driving from Oklahoma City to New Orleans??

Construction zones in Lowsyanna are about 15 miles long.
If you don't see an "end construction zone" sign, DO NOT SPEED UP untill you do.

Don't post on a public forum you're leaving town.
BTW, where do you live.

Read up on TX and LA CC rules. There are differences in each state. Don't forget to look up pocket knife rules as well.
Beyond that, watch your ass if outside the tourist district of NOLA. There's no shortage of thugs and thieves.
Might want to take a lockable container to store your pistol in when away from it. Academy has key lock boxes with security cables for $16.

I want to tell you a joke I heard about the difference between a person that lives in eastern Texas and a person that lives in Louisiana but it would most likey get me banned for an ethnic slur. The punch line is "The Sabine River."
While LA is technically "open carry", it's not very open carry friendly, and you will probably wind up being harassed. I would not recommend OCing in LA unless you have an attorney on retainer.
Both TX and LA allow you to carry in your car without a CCL.
+1 on watching where you go in N.O., used to be really bad down there. And yes, those HiPo's are bad down there, remember most state highways (2 lane) are 55 mph. Pretty hard for me when I go back home since I'm used to 65-70 now.
