Constitutional Carry now law in Mississippi!

[Farmer Br0wn]

Mississippi is now the 10th state to show fidelity to the Bill of Rights by no longer infringing upon this particular constitutionality protected right (Arkansas is in a kind of constitutional carry limbo at the moment, but that will change when Arkansas gets a new attorney general from my understanding).

Another great day for individual liberty. The more states that restore constitutional carry, the less excuses that states that don't restore constitutional carry will have.

1/5 of all of our nation's states have permitless carry of firearms as law, and the "blood-in-the-streets" and "Wild West" scenarios we were constantly told would happen, have never materialized.

Questions for Sherdog War Room readers:

1: If you still support the requirement of a permit to carry a gun an individual has the right to own, why? What would your justification be for continued permitting?

2: Do you think constitutional carry would be a good fit for your state? If so, why? If not, why not? If you already live in a constitutional carry state, what has been your experience in relation to the carrying of arms?


Question for the citizens of Mississippi:

Do you see this law having any negative effect on your day to day life? If so, what?

Good for Mississippi.

 

[Dolomite]

Good job guys!


ETA: And you can even get a FREE photo ID from the State (you don't even need a birth certificate!):

Foundationaly this is our most important right. Good to see something's going in the right direction of individual liberty.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

How do states that honor reciprocity deal with Constitutional carry states' citizens?

 

[Oedad]

Still waiting for these wild west shootouts and block wars liberals predict every time a state passes some like thing.

Who's the latest anti-gun gimmick poster sloppypie or something.

Carrying requirements are an area that i think the state should be making the law on.

Lots of places do not need to have carry restrictions. At the same time, other places tgat have problems with violence i do not have a problem with requiring a cursory background check and training.

I guess now the plurality of anecdotes is the same thing as evidence. Excellent!

So did the founders. Who were the dolts that thought it was a good idea to apply the Bill of Rights to the states?

 

[snakedafunky]

I am not American so I cant give any insight, I only ever shot guns during my military service.
But I never got the logic that you need a permit to carry it, if you are a criminal why would you bother getting a permit?
It seems the only people that would bother getting a carry permit are the once that do it by the rules and don't need one.

Do you have any statistic if crimes decrease or increase after a state allows this "no permit" law?

You knew this long before I ever posted here fella.

Well ya know...I just love how the fix for gun crimes is moar gunz.

Well ya know...I just love how the fix for gun crimes is moar gunz.

And I don't get how it's such a difficult concept to grasp.

 

[BVG]

And I don't get how it's such a difficult concept to grasp.

Let's put it like this in simplest terms...

If I didn't want people to die from digesting rat poison accidentally...does it do the country a service to produce bucket loads of rat poison? If America ups the ante on it's love for guns, and the need for everyone to carry a gun, so the makers of guns celebrate and create more guns and it then it stands to reason that your chances of dying from a gun are substantially increased be it accidental or otherwise.

If their were only 5 guns in all of planet earth, what would you say your chances of dying from a gunshot would be?

But really...this is a dead issue. I want you all to have guns so you shoot each other until their's like 20 people left standing. I'm ok with that. Bring on moar mass shootings please, they make for great reading material on boring Monday mornings.

You see the problem with your analogy? Your only concern here is the proximate cause, not the ultimate underlying one which is violence. Is it your position that there would necessarily be less violence without firearms? If so where's your evidence to show that?

So, is your argument that people aren't perfect? I'm already aware of that, that's why I carry a gun.
