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.

For some reason, legislators in Mississippi found it necessary to pass a law allowing citizens to do something the Constitution already allowed.

"For some reason..."? Absolutely!

More than a decade ago the State Supreme Court ruled that a gun in a holster was partially concealed therefore it was a 'concealed' weapon.

They went so far as to say that if a person tied a string around a trigger guard, then the point of contact of the string and the trigger guard was 'concealed' therefore THAT was a concealed weapon!

Take a look at the pics of the major players that are opposing this.
