A MS DPS attorney, Timothy Smith, agrees there's something inherently wrong with having to obtain a permit to exercise a right. As he said, "you don't need a permit to speak freely, it doesn't make sense to need one to bear arms."

He referred me to a "gun friendly attorney," a Paul Guy, Jr, in McComb, MS. Seems Paul makes his own rifles, is into competition shooting.
But Paul seemed to be another of those "lifetime NRA members," someone who has NO desire to do ANYthing to restore/protect the rights of ANY gun owners.
He wished me luck in my endeavor to clarify this huge "misunderstanding," but never offered any assistance whatsoever.

This figures, happy where they are, don't poke the sleeping bear that wants to take away more rights, live in the NRA bubble type person.

I just sent another e-mail to the AGO, this time much MUCH more specific about Open Carry, instead of asking about the legalities of it...

I asked them to DEFINE open carry as Mississippi code, and case law see it. I want them to define it since the Mississippi Code of 1972 only mentions open carry, and that the LTC code says it doesn't give Open Carry privileges...

We'll see if they refer to me to the MS DPS again...

That's a very good question.
According to our good friend, Paul Guy, Jr, one of us needs to be arrested, booked, and brought before the court. THEN, and ONLY then, we could raise this issue at that time.
There has got to be some other way to rectify this situation.
I'm still trying to reach a "constitutional" lawyer in Jackson who, no surprise, wasn't in.
There's an FM radio talk show in Jackson, "Super Talk," which would be a good venue to air this question on, IF you can get the anti-gun host of the show to even allow such talk on HIS program.

do any of yall listen to the rick and bubba show on the radio. They are out of Birmingham Al. I dont know how they feel about guns but they are big into hunting and judging by their views on other issues i am sure they are probably very pro 2A. maybe we can get in contact with them and have them do a show on open carry to help educate the public that it is legal to open carry. Should reach listeners all over the southern U.S. Any thoughts or suggestions?
