I read your post, and the article at the link, and still have no clue as to exactly what the issue is all about. WHAT lawsuit?? What is the issue and significance of said lawsuit? Maybe you have covered those points elsewhere, but if so, I haven’t seen them.

Here is some background: Gun Watch article on Mississippi law, Mississippi Constitution, and the injunction.

Excellent. That clarifies things greatly. Probably if I was still back in Louisiana, the local La. news would have had this as a story, but in Washington state..........

Problem is our AG jim hood, the only state wide elected democrat, who with his interpretations has worked to circumvent our state Constitution, our legislature and the will of the people. His interpretations defy common sense, ther can be no open carry because the part hidden by the holster makes it concealed but not concealed enough to be concealed. If any part of a concealed firearm is exposed, and this may include the holster, you are in violation and considered to be “brandishing” even inadvertant, wind blows shirt open, shirt or jacket pulls and exposes on entering or exiting vehicle, etc. his definition of partially concealed even if “wearing it around your neck tied with string because the string conceals part of the firearm” is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard from a lawyer.

Right on, duffee!

Jim Hood is the only statewide elected demonic-rat and he can always be counted on to go against us.

I guess they are just going to let it work through the system. If we have a system. Jimbo Hood didn’t like his dim buddies going over his head and he still got slapped down.

“A panel of three justices said they made their decision for procedural reasons...”

Procedural reasons?

Do you know what that means?

I didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :>)
I don’t know for sure what it means. I think it means 3 of Judges decided Jim Hood did not follow procedure by bringing the case directly to the MSC. Maybe he should have waited until after the hearing and then appealed.
Please keep in mind this is only my low info voter humble opinion.

Well, keeping in mind that it was the MSC that upheld the insane ruling that a piece of string tied around a trigger guard constituted concealed carry. This ruling does not surprise me. We’ll have to see what happens after the hearing on July 8.
