Mississippi and Governor Phil Bryant are fast becoming one of my favorite States and Governors (Right Behind my Home State of Texas of course). First the Religious Freedom Bill and Now Constitutional Carry!! It does my heart good to hear and read about so many liberals CRYING and COMPLAINING…As the old saying goes: You know you are on the right track when Liberals Despise and Hate You! \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Good For You Governor Bryant!!! -SF<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mississippi became the 9th state to restore permitless carry today, the 15th of April, 2016.\u00a0 It seems poetic that Governor Bryant chose to sign HB 786 into law<\/a> a few days before most citizens were required to file their federal taxes. The easing of one burden helps reduce the pain of another, in this case.\u00a0 HB 786 is titled the \u201cChurch Protection Act\u201d, which is a correct description.\u00a0 The bill provides that churches can create volunteer church security that will have the same protections that private security guards now have in Mississippi.\u00a0 The program will require training and the designation of the volunteers in writing.<\/p>\n

The permitless carry portion of the bill was an amendment that made a small, incremental change to Mississippi law.\u00a0 Last year, in 2015, the legislature changed the law to allow people to carry concealed firearms in purses, bags, cases, briefcases, and other fully enclosed case, without a permit.\u00a0 This year the amendment to HB 786 added pistols or revolvers carried in a \u201csheath, belt holster or shoulder holster\u201d.\u00a0 There is not much left.\u00a0 From HB 786<\/a>, as it was sent to Governor Bryant.\u00a0 Underlined words have been added to the statute by the bill:<\/p>\n

(24)\u00a0*\u00a0*\u00a0*<\/b>\u00a0 A<\/u> license\u00a0*\u00a0*\u00a0*<\/b> under this section is not required<\/u> for a loaded or unloaded pistol or revolver to be<\/u> carried upon the person in a sheath, belt holster or shoulder holster or<\/u> in a purse, handbag, satchel, other similar bag or briefcase or fully enclosed case if the person is not engaged in criminal activity other than a misdemeanor traffic offense, is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a pistol or revolver under state or federal law, and is not in a location prohibited under subsection (13) of this section<\/u>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The law has a provision<\/a> to prevent the use of state resources for the enforcement of any future federal regulation or executive order that infringes on the Second Amendment or the Mississippi Constitution of 1890:<\/p>\n

SECTION 5. No federal executive order, agency order, law not enrolled by the United States Congress and signed by the President of the United States, rule, regulation or administrative interpretation of a law or statute issued, enacted or promulgated after July 1, 2016, that violates the United States Constitution or the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 shall be enforced or ordered to be enforced by any official, agent or employee of this state or a political subdivision thereof.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vermont has had \u201cConstitutional\u201d carry for as long as it has been a state.\u00a0 The Bill of Rights was ratified on December 15th, 1791, a great Christmas present to the United States, four months after Vermont became a state in the same year.\u00a0 In 1791, no permit was required for either open or concealed carry of weapons.<\/p>\n

Vermont, plus the nine states that have restored \u201cConstitutional\u201d carry now make up 20% of all the states in the Union.\u00a0 They are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Wyoming.\u00a0 They extend from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Canadian border to the Mexican. \u00a0 It will be more difficult to call them a\u00a0 \u201chandful\u201d now, as the outnumber the states that still cling to the outdated notion of \u201cmay issue\u201d concealed carry permits.<\/p>\n

Those states are Hawaii, California, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Delaware, Massachusetts, and Maryland.<\/p>\n

The new law is not absolute, perfect, \u201cConstitutional\u201d carry.\u00a0 All the \u201cConstitutional\u201d carry states have some restraints on carry.\u00a0 In Arizona, you are required to have a permit to carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol.\u00a0 In Wyoming, you are required to be a resident; in Mississippi, you are not allowed to carry in your waistband without a holster.<\/p>\n

There are several other states that are prime candidates to pass permitless carry.\u00a0 New Hampshire and Utah passed bills that were vetoed by their governors.\u00a0 Louisiana and Missouri have implemented strong Constitutional amendments to protect the right to keep and bear arms;\u00a0 the courts may not allow a permit requirement for a fundamental right.<\/p>\n

I will not be surprised if a majority of the states have Constitutional carry by 2025.\u00a0 That would only be another 16 states.\u00a0 Three states became \u201cConstitutional\u201d carry states just this year.\u00a0 The infringements on the exercise of Second Amendment rights have always been based on racism and lies.\u00a0 Now they are being repealed, and Second Amendment rights are being restored.<\/p>\n
