This is third party (message) but from a CHP OFFICER, good friend and shooting buddy of mine who is one of the 100 CA CHP officers in NO right now.
1) The CHP is under no orders to confiscate legally owned firearms, infact later that day they encountered houses full of guns and wished the residents well. They are not disarming people withought other extenuating circumstances.
2) The CHP is under orders to remove people from the area designated for MANDATORY evacuation. This is ostentiobly a legal act, authority to do so has been grated and the CHP is taking orders from the NO State Police who are under the Governor, who is under the direction of FEMA. They have been Federalized, and the feds may mandate an evac. It is not clear if they are infact FORCING people to leave, or entering and "STERNELY ADVISING" them that they are to leave.
3) Houses will be entered if the doorbell is answered or if the door is open. If the door is closed and knocks are not answered they are moving on
4) The issue of the old lady is still cloudy. However, HER DOOR WAS OPEN, so the CHP entered her house. We did see her sweep the cameraman with her revolver. It is not clear wether she pointed it at the cops or not, nor is it clear how in command of her faculties she was. In any event, she was NOT left defenseless, but evacuated. I do not know if she was arreasted or merely sent on her way, this is where the cell connection got spotty and dropped.
He was present and *IN* the videotaped incident with the old woman if you remember. To protect his identity I will not say more.
Hopefully more from him soon. Godspeed and stay safe buddy.
EDITs to clairify what is happening. MORE Edits, I do not know if they are forcing evictions or advising at this point.
