Article from 8/30/13

The Mississippi Supreme Court unanimously upheld the state's open carry gun law Thursday, allowing it to take effect after a circuit judge's order had kept it on hold about two months.
"This court now finds that the circuit judge erred as a matter of law when he found House Bill 2 to be vague and, therefore, unconstitutional. He also erred when he stated that a `reasonable person reading the bill could not discern what the law allows and what it prohibits,'" according to the ruling signed by Justice Randy Pierce.

They may not say it directly, but if it's posted on the NRA-ILA website then they are acknowledging another victory for pro-gunners. I know a few people on OCDO have talked about the NRA not caring for OC. I think this is a good sign :)

BTW before anyone says that this is the Washington thread I want to point out that it's more about the NRA acknowledging OC as a positive thing.
