BREAKING: Mississippi Judge Permanently Blocks Open Carry Law From Taking Effect

Earlier this month we reported on the Mississippi judge, Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Winston Kidd, who issued an injunction blocking the new open carry law there from taking effect.

The judge says the law is too vague to be constitutional.

The judge originally scheduled a hearing to discuss the law and the injunction for Monday, July 7.

Yesterday, the judge made the injunction permanent. This means the bill is blocked from becoming law barring intervention by a higher court.

Previously, the Mississippi Supreme Court declined to rule on the injunction, saying they didn’t have the power to stop the injunction prior to the hearing. It is unclear what action the Supreme Court can and will take now.

Let the legislature and Governor veto the judge, and refuse to obey his decision on the grounds that it is too stupid.

Let me try to understand this ... For some reason, legislators in Mississippi found it necessary to pass a law allowing citizens to do something the Constitution already allowed. Then a judge ruled that the law echoing the Constitution was unconstitutional.

Does that about cover it?

[Dick Vomer]

Let me guess....... If Obama had a son it would look like this judge ...........
Yep.

According to the biography that appears on the official Hinds County website 1) he graduated from a fourth rate law school...something like the Mrs Smith's Storm Door And Law School Company and 2) his two kids are named “Winston Jamal” and “Jacob Jabari”.

Known: Democrat and Judicial activism at its worst!

Probable:Product of affirmative action.

Mmmmmmmm, Mmmmmmm, Mmmmmm!

[chris37]

Do it anyway.

A judge only has as much power as a person gives him, or her, or it.

Give them none.

They are not in charge, we are.

From what I understand the new law passed simply clarifies an old law that is already on the books. Law enforcement could interpret a gun lying in full view on your dashboard as violating the old law that outlaws concealed carry without a permit because the half of the gun that is not visible is “concealed” from the officers view. Under the old law, one could hold a gun upside down by the trigger guard using a pencil and the part “concealed” by the pencil violates the statute. This is just a bunch of idiots in the city/county government of Jackson/Hinds Co. trying to control everyone in the state. The new mayor and former Republic of New Africa leader, Chokwe Lumumba, is also behind this.

Sounds like a good place for an Andrew Jackson moment, “Judge Winston Kidd has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” ;-)

in most states that have faux homosexual marriage, a judge/judges legislated from the bench to bring it about, usually against the will of the people in those states.

[bgill]

Is this judge elected or appointed? I can see those appointed making their own special little laws on the fly but those who are elected are likely to get the boot next time around.

A semi-literate, affirmative action “judge” wields more power than the entire Mississippi State legislature. Only in today’s world can a moron who holds his position simply due to melanin content rule that the Constitution is unconstitutional.

[ought-six]

Who didn’t see this coming? “Judge” Kidd is one of Holder’s Peeps, and a Democrat.

[Mr. Wright]

So let’s see . . . the law abiding citizen cannot “open carry” while the criminal element may and WILL “carry concealed”. This whole Country is bass akwards.

[Yosemitest]

Winston Kidd, enemy of the state, search and destroy!

[PAR35]

He is a judge of color in Jackson where they have been working on ethnic cleansing of crackers for some years.

Vague? Like our TAX CODE, judge?

How vague is ‘shall not be infringed’ to begin with?
