Mississippi constitutional carry bill heads to full Senate vote

http://www.guns.com/2016/03/18/mississippi-constitutional-carry-bill-heads-to-full-senate-vote/

“If this bill were to die, it would still be legal in Mississippi to carry without a license,” said Gipson. “So I don’t know what the fuss is all about. Which leads me to believe this isn’t about this bill. It’s about Michael Bloomberg’s group trying to come down here and take away our gun rights.”


We already picked up West Virginia this year, making it a great year so far for the 2A. Maine, Vermont, Kansas, Arizona, Alaska, most of Montana, and Wyoming for residents no longer require you to ask for permission before exercising your right to self defense.

...when they blanket-legalize open and concealed carry at all events where they are seeking (re)election.

When they kept pushing for very unpopular legislation, the backlash was more than predictable, it was guaranteed... But hey, what do I know, we just got done giving the Virginia Governor, and Attorney General a very effective "attitude adjustment" here in VA..

They "thought" they could ram thru gun control, they ended up EXPANDING gun rights....

LOL!

He doesn't seem to be getting the return on his money he expected. In fact, in at least a few cases, things have moved in the opposite direction if they've moved at all.

Maybe he should spend his money on improving parks and cycling trails and better fishing stocking?
