Mississippi Passes Constitutional Carry

Post by MarcSpaz »

Is this number 10?

https://www.nraila.org/articles/2016032 ... -expansion
House Bill 786 accomplishes the following:

Expands current permitless carry options to include belt and shoulder holsters. (Legislation passed in 2015 authorized Mississippians who are eligible to possess a firearm under state and federal law to carry a pistol or revolver without a license in purses, handbags, satchels, other similar bags or briefcases or fully enclosed cases)

Allows church authorities to develop security programs that designate enhanced carry permit holders or those with military or law enforcement backgrounds to protect places of worship and receive the benefits of existing protections under the state’s “Castle Doctrine” law.

Prohibits state or local enforcement of federal executive orders or agency regulations not approved by Congress which conflict with the Constitution of the United States or the Mississippi Constitution.

Per Wiki... looks like 11 States and 1 Commonwealth. Plus 3 are very close to being there. 21% of the lower 48, 22% of all States is a trend I like.

Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Idaho (residents only)
Kansas
Maine
Mississippi
Oklahoma (residents of constitutional carry states)
Puerto Rico
Vermont
West Virginia
Wyoming (residents only)

These are limited permit-less carry...

Montana (outside city limits)
New Hampshire (unloaded weapon & loaded magazine)
New Mexico (unloaded weapon & loaded magazine, vehicle carry)

FYI - Ohio has ALWAYS been permitless Open carry. ie there has never been a state law prohibiting open carry and after state preemption went into effect there are no local laws against it.
There is, however, a laundry list of prohibited locations/buildings for carrying handguns.
For example, only a CHL holder can carry in a liquor establishment open or concealed and they can't imbibe.

If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.
