Now Concealed carry permit holders will not be harassed if their weapon happens to become exposed.<br /><br />It will also deter crime and prove as a force multiplier for law enforcement ( The bad guys won't know who is the law and who isn't.) <br />Twice in my lifetime I have been able to discourage would be assailants by merely making them aware of my armed status. <br />JOIN THE NRA!!

I lived in SC where my concealed permit is not valid for Mississippi. I recently moved to Mississippi and welcome this new ruling. <br />Twice in my lifetime as a traveling salesman I was able to ward off would be assailants by merely making my armed status known.<br />I have competed in 3 gun combat matches and very well aware of the consequences of firing my weapon. I hope I never need to. BUT, even more so I pray I am armed and able to fire if the situation merits.<br />This is a good ruling and will result in an overall drop in criminal activity.

They have not had any of the problems described by the concerned posters.<br /><br />There are many benefits to children seeing people carry guns openly.<br /><br />1. They realize that the State and Federal Constitutions means something, and cannot be simply changed by a few lawyers deciding that they do not like the limitations of the Constitutions on government.<br /><br />2. Directly showing the children that people can be responsible with firearms.<br /><br />3. Directly demonstrating to children that the State does not have a monopoly on the use of force.<br /><br />Dean Weingartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026716292548440054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-10176605064299656822013-06-27T03:17:31.944+10:002013-06-27T03:17:31.944+10:00Reason being that if you have someone that is craz...Reason being that if you have someone that is crazy and has a gun its a perfect time for them to start shooting up any place that is filled with people.

And that the only person who can take out a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun? <br /> <br />Wouldn't you rather that a law abiding citizen properly trained in the safe usage of a gun take appropriate action to safeguard the potential victims of a violent crime while awaiting the arrival of authorities? In the precious minutes between someone calling 911 and the police being dispatched, many lives can be saved.<br /><br />Open carry is simply a deterrent to would be criminals, much like the lock on your front door. Not to mention, most criminals prefer victims who cannot defend themselves. Why do you think they choose venues where guns are usually prohibited? That's right...because no one can shoot back.<br /> <br />Responsible gun owners do not take carrying a weapon in public lightly. There are hefty legal consequences for drawing and or using your weapon inappropriately.<br /><br />Will there be people who don't behave appropriately? Perhaps, but statistically those numbers are small and I for one, don't believe we should have our right to bear arms stripped from us due to the few idiots who would misuse this right.<br /> <br />If you were standing in line at the movies and a psycho with a gun started shooting, who would you want in that line with you...a bunch of unarmed victims, or me, a trained competition pistol shooter who does target practice regularly and carries a .45 in my purse, locked and loaded with an extra magazine just in case... <br /><br />YEAH, that's what I thought.Packin' Prettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-75653779683297375142013-06-19T15:26:01.269+10:002013-06-19T15:26:01.269+10:00Anonymous:

Whyyyyyy? is the question. What about our children come on people they don't need to see other people just walking around with a gun.
