Yep...I've asked the same question three times on three different threads. That's because I came to this forum hoping to get some definitive answers and not just folk's opinions.
So far no one can show me definitively in the law where open carry in Mississippi is legal.
Without open carry being legal, I'd be stupid to slap my OSS .45 on my hip and walk down mainstreet Southaven, MS and not expect to be hassled by law enforcement.
The point is, as has been stated in many different threads, that what is not defined as being illegal ... is legal. You will not find anywhere in the law that it is legal to breathe or to wear a red shirt. The law tells you what you must not do, not what you may do.
From my skimming of the thread, there might be some confusion if the MS law considers a holstered firearm to be "concealed" just because every square inch of it isn't visible, and thus a concealed carry permit is required ... but that seems counter-intuitive to the fact that a firearm in a holster is highly identifiable and is considered open carry most everywhere else.
