Marriage laws are simply specific contract law, not in the same class as most other laws.
licensing and registration laws for vehicles are EXACTLY like the licensing law for concealed carry, it allows behavior that has been otherwise prohibited. Openly carrying a weapon has never been prohibited and is in fact protected from prohibition and regulation: "The right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person, or property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall not be called in question, but the Legislature may regulate or forbid carrying concealed weapons."
Again if laws were permissive instead of prohibitive then please show me where breathing, walking, eating, urinating, and all other acts are permitted. Do you have a permit to eat? if not you could be breaking the law when you take a bite perhaps you should find a law that says such behavior is ok.
If you really think it is a crime to openly carry a firearm then what would be the charge for doing so? it wouldn't be 97-37-1 since that is about concealed carry, it wouldn't be 45-9-101 since that doesn't prohibit open carry or anything else, it simply allows the carrying of concealed pistols.
If you think I have a negative tone to my writing perhaps it is because I am annoyed when someone posts the same wrong opinion that is ignorant of the constitutionally protected rights of Mississippians in over 10 different threads obviously without reading through the threads where the subject is best discussed and without any logic other than "master didn't say I can!" and without reading the basis of all MS laws: the constitution. I don't like trying to have the same exact discussion across 30 threads, when someone tries to have one discussion across 30 threads that is spamming and is very rude.
