sion in New Orleaus, made the follow
ing decision regarding concealed Wea-
pons:
"A partial eoncealment of danger

Of it may be visible, is carrying a con-
cealed weapon within the meaning and

cealed'' has statutory sense, contra
distinguished from its ordinary mean
ing, and must be construed as to give
potential effect to the law.
