Mississippi Supreme Court Overturns Open Carry Injunction

WREG Memphis ^ | 8-29-13 | George Brown

[WKB]

(Jackson, MS) The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled a Hinds County Circuit Court judge erred when he granted a motion delaying House Bill 2 from taking effect.

That is the open carry law in Mississippi.

The judge ruled the bill was unconstitutionally vague.

The Supreme Court decided that decision was incorrect.

House Bill 2 would allow people without a permit to carry firearms as long as they are within sight. Concealed weapons still require a permit.

That's good news.

The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
You cannot protect life, without the ability to take life.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

The Second Amendment IS Pro-Life.

"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these:
First, a right to life;
Secondly, to liberty;
Thirdly, to property;
together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.
These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation,
commonly called the first law of nature...
In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society,
to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights;
when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution,
is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights;
the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property.
If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right,
the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation.
The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty,
it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift
and voluntarily become a slave."




-- Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists

Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

" Today, military service for Swiss males is universal. At about age 20, every Swiss male goes through 118 consecutive days of recruit training in the Rekrutenschule. ...

Even before required training begins, young men and women may take optional courses with the Swiss army's M57 assault rifle.
They keep that gun at home for three months and receive six half-day training sessions.

From age 21 to 32, a Swiss man serves as a "frontline" troop in the Auszug, and devotes three weeks a year (in eight of the 12 years) to continued training.
From age 33 to 42, he serves in the Landwehr (like America's National Guard); every few years, he reports for two-week training periods.
Finally, from ages 43, to 50, he serves in the Landsturm; in this period, he only spends 13 days total in "home guard courses."

Over a soldier's career he also spends scattered days on mandatory equipment inspections and required target practice.
Thus, in a 30-year mandatory military career, a Swiss man only spends about one year in direct military service.
Following discharge from the regular army, men serve on reserve status until age 50 (55 for officers).

By the Federal Constitution of 1874, military servicemen are given their first equipment, clothing and arms.
After the first training period, conscripts must keep gun, ammunition and equipment an ihrem Wohnort ("in their homes") until the end of their term of service.

Today, enlisted men are issued M57 AUTOMATIC assault rifles and officers are given pistol.
Each reservist is issued 24 rounds of ammunition in sealed packs for emergency use.
(Contrary to Handgun Control's claim that "all ammunition must be accounted for," the emergency ammunition is the only ammo that requires accounting.)

After discharge from service, the man is given a bolt rifle free from registration or obligation.
Starting in the 1994, the government will GIVE ex-reservists assault rifles. Officers carry pistols rather than rifles and are given their pistols the end of their service.

When the government adopts a new infantry rifle, it sells the old ones to the public.

Reservists are encouraged to buy MILITARY ammunition
(7.5 and 5.6mm-5.56 mm in other countries-for rifles and 9 and 7.65 mm Luger for pistols)
which is sold AT COST by the government, for target practice .
Non-military ammunition for long-gun hunting and .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammo are not subsidised, but are subiect to NO sales controls.
Non-military non-hunting ammunition more powerful than .22 LR (such as .38 Spl.) is registered at the time of sale.

Swiss military ammo must be registered IF bought at a private store, BUT NEED NOT BE REGISTERED IF bought at a range.
The nation's 3,000 shooting ranges sell the overwhelming majority of ammunition.
Technically, ammunition bought at the range must be used at the range, but the rule is barely known and almost never obeyed.

The army SELLS a variety of machine guns, submachine guns, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers and cannons.
Purchasers of these weapons require an EASILY OBTAINED cantonal license, and the weapons are registered.
In a nation of six million people, there are at least two million guns, including 600,000 FULLY AUTOMATIC assault rifles, half a million pistols, and numerous machine guns.
Virtually every home has a gun.

Besides SUBSIDIZED military surplus, the Swiss can buy other firearms easily too.
While long guns require NO special purchase procedures, handguns are sold only to those with a Waffenerwerbsschien (purchase certificate) issued by a cantonal authority.
A certificate is issued to every applicant over 18 who is not a criminal or mentally infirm.

There are NO restrictions on the carrying of long guns.
About half the cantons have strict permit procedures for carrying handguns, and the other half have NO rules at all.
There is NO discernible difference in the crime rate between the cantons as a result of the different policies.

Thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Swiss gun lobby, semi-automatic rifles require NO PURCHASE PERMIT and are NOT registered by the government.
Thus, the ONLY long guns registered by the government are FULL AUTOMATICS."

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember:

The beauty of the Second Amendment is
that it will not be needed
until they TRY to take it.

Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

I suspect the police will have something to say about/to open carriers but this is still excellent news.

[2ndDivisionVet]

We need that in Texas.

[andyk]

Good. That judge should be removed for his ridiculous ruling.

[JRandomFreeper]

We may have to get rid of Dewhurst to get open carry in Texas.

“House Bill 2 would allow people without a permit to carry firearms as long as they are within sight. Concealed weapons still require a permit.”

When I was a kid in the ‘60’s in Florida, I occasionally saw people open carry guns. They appeared to be on their way to or coming from ranges or boat trips. Occasionally, you’d see cowboys (real ones) with holstered guns. I don’t know when this stopped. But in the ‘70’s a couple from Arizona (I think) stopped in an outdoor eatery after range shooting. Their guns were holstered and they weren’t being ostentatious. Some folks looked panicked at the mere sight. They were surprised at the reaction and took their guns to the car. I spoke with them and they didn’t know what to make of the reaction. After all, it’s not like this was New York.

But that Florida is long gone. No more outdoor eateries. No cowboys. Roads are paved and have curbs and there’s somebody controlling every aspect of what you do. (At the last place I worked, I got in trouble because an HR lady overheard me discussing concealed carry with a machinist who made his own guns. I would have been written up except I was at too high a level and it didn’t really violate a written rule. The rule was that you couldn’t discuss anything offensive. I asked her how, exactly a discussion on concealed carry was offensive and she couldn’t point to a written rule.)

[Secret Agent Man]

i bet holder files an appeal at the federal level to block this.

“Hood said there is a lot of confusion about open carry law/concealed weapon law, but he said House Bill 2 only clarified what constitutes a concealed weapon. He said the legislation didn’t change any law. He said open carry has always been allowed in the 1890 state Constitution.”

The only confusion about any of this was caused by jim hood and his office at his direction. He’s a democrat and I believe is against firearms peroid, he confused the original concealed carry and interrpted it to mean open carry was then illegal and if legal concealed firearm was inadverdently exposed that individual was then a law breaker. When the legislature worked to correct it his office was at least advising this group in Hinds county and then interrpted that this decision was statewide and not just Hinds County. And now he comes out in favor of clarififing the law? How did we ever re-elect this devious backstabber?

Need to gt rid of Dewhurst with or without open carry IMO.

[JRandomFreeper]

Yep, but if open carry is what it takes to convince some folks to not-reelect him, I'll hammer that too, in my neighborhood walks and talks. ;)

[Grams A]

Yep, but if open carry is what it takes to convince some folks to not-reelect him, I’ll hammer that too...”

Good point. Spoke with one of his local campaign office staffers this weekend. Said their office was surprised by the fallout from the Dallas fiasco continues and are privately concerned that it may very well continue to be an issue. Sure hope we have someone else who is more Cruz-like to vote for.

...But that Florida is long gone. No more outdoor eateries. No cowboys. Roads are paved and have curbs...

You need to get out more. That Florida is alive and well in Highlands, Hardee, DeSoto and Okeechobee Counties.

[Gen.Blather]

“That Florida is alive and well in Highlands, Hardee, DeSoto and Okeechobee Counties. “

Open carry in those counties too? You’re right. I haven’t been to any of those. Now, I only travel for a purpose. It’s too expensive to just drive around as I once did.

“I suspect the police will have something to say about/to open carriers but this is still excellent news.”

In some towns the police are distributing “gun free zone signs” at taxpayer expense. They don’t tell them that “gun free zones” are the danger zones.
