I sent my friend MilProGuy here to learn about OC in his home state since I know that the Washington OCDO guys are helpful and educated and I hoped you guys could help him. Your OC situation in MS is not as clear cut as our laws in Washington State and he had questions I couldn't answer. Based on reading the threads he has been involved in, I would like to suggest three things to you folks:
1. Get a clear and concise gun rights brochure set up, reviewed by a lawyer (or maybe your Attorney General) who works in this field, like the one we have that states the facts of the law in clear English, AS IT EXISTS TODAY in MS. Include the case law as it applies. See the Washington State pamphlet here, http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?78380-Washington-Gun-Rights-Pamphlet
2. Work on busting your legislator's chops until they sort out your Rights in a clear and well defined format, in LAW, either Positive Law or even better, Natural Law. All you need is some clarified language in the existing law and you'd be good. Blowing out the entire CC thing and going to Constitutional Carry would be much better. Honestly, based on my recent reading of your law, I wouldn't OC in MS today as it's too gray for me. Getting arrested isn't the best approach to changing law until everything else has been tried and has failed.
3. And please be nice to a new guy. Jeeze. He was just challenging your assumptions and some of you were not all that kind to him, not all, just some. Learn to discuss politely and please remember that these non-OC folks VOTE in your state...
