The state Supreme Court today has overturned a Hinds Circuit judge’s blockage of a law taking effect that would clearly allow people to openly carry firearms in public without a permit.
Here’s the order.
The high court found the Hinds 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.’”
House Judiciary Chairman Andy Gipson, author of the law, on Thursday said: “I am very pleased the Mississippi Supreme Court has promptly decided that House Bill 2 is clear and unambiguous, and the bill is now in effect statewide. The Hinds County lawsuit was a waste of taxpayers’ time and money.”
The Supreme Court decision was unanimous, with the order written by Justice Randy Pierce.
