Don't think he can make that call for the jurisdiction. That's what this law was clarifying, judges had tried to, once again, legislate from the bench and prohibit open carry by muddying up the law. His order won't stand!
It was carry as you wish for years. Then get your permit from the county office. Now they want to jack the rules this way and that. Read the rules, carry as you wish.
2 street signs come to mind. "this is a gun free zone" and "all home owners own guns and are well trained"
2 local stores I visit, one the employees wear a 40 or 45 on their side, the other they carry a 22, 25 or 380 in their pocket. To me one is saying "just try it" the other is saying "I could hurt you"
Only thing wrong with open carry is if a crackhead is in a place of business with a gun and your there open carrying you are the first one he is goin to take out but if your concealed its more than likely you'll get the chance to take him out
I agree with bar pit, I'll continue to carry concealed but I have carried open all over the south without any problem.
I disagree, i think the crackhead sees me armed an moves on to the next place with the no weapons allowed sign in the window.
I'm not opposed to it at all but think it's better to keep it hideQuote:

In a struggle to take your weapon, you then have the option of dropping the mag and not having to worry about your own weapon being used against you. It would also be most wise to invest in a positive retention holster.

BTW, the injunction covers the whole state not just Hinds County.
I had a gun control advocate tell me one time, "Well, I hope someone doesn't kill you with your own gun." To which I replied, "If they do, they'd have to take it away from me and beat me to death with it because the magazine will be empty!!!":twocents
3 judge panel of ms Supreme Court refused to set aside Judge Kidd's injunction so we have to wait for a hearing on the 8th in Kidd's court and go from there. As I understand it, some PD and SO offices are refusing to enforce the injunction meaning that in some jurisdictions you can open carry without fear of being arrested. My advice would be to contact your SO or Pd for guidance and their stance on the issue before you strap up.
God help this country.
