I know both were hit pretty hard by Katrina, but I want to know which is the safer of the two to fly into. I have about a 1.5 hour drive to a government facility MS from either airport once I land at around 11:00pm. Because I will be working at a federal agency, I will not be able to carry, but I am considering bringing a handgun with me for at least the drive up, this may not be necessary, but I am not sure of the areas I will be travelling through, although I do know the facility is in a very remote area of MS which may make it safer. Normally I would not question the need for a handgun, but I hate the idea of leaving the gun anywhere but my gun safe, or on my person, even if its locked up, and I will have to take a connecting flight which leaves more time for the baggage to get lost or stolen.
So at any rate, which is the better area to start out from, Biloxi or New Orleans airport, and would you feel the area is dangerous enough to go armed?
