The law is not really an "open carry" law. It simply clarifies existing concealed carry law, reinforcing the Mississippi Constitution.
The Mississippi Supreme Court on Tuesday said it
won't undo a circuit judge's order that's blocking an open-carry gun
law from taking effect.
A
panel of three justices said they made their decision for procedural
reasons, and "the panel expresses no opinion respecting the merits of
the matters pending before the circuit court."
Their
ruling means that Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd can hold a
July 8 hearing he had already set, to decide whether to extend the
injunction he handed down this past Friday.

The bill's chief sponsor, Republican Rep. Andy
Gipson of Braxton, said in a news release Tuesday that he's
disappointed the Supreme Court did not immediately overturn Kidd's
injunction and allow the law to take effect.
"I
am confident that the court will ultimately validate House Bill 2,"
Gipson said. "The constitution remains in effect today just as it has
since Mississippi became a state."
