Mississippi’s newest Gun Rights Organization: Mississippi Carry

Mississippi's newest Gun Rights Organization: Mississippi Carry

On Friday, June 28, 2013, the last day before Mississippi House Bill 2was to take effect, representatives from Hinds County law enforcement and several anti-gun state lawmakers filed a motion to block the new law from taking effect. A circuit court judge in Hinds County granted the motion and one week later upheld a permanent injunction against the new law.

Earlier Attorney General Jim Hood released an official opinion on the new gun law, and his office held a meeting with the Chief's of Police Association. Soon after this meeting law enforcement across the state began using public funds and resources to print "No firearm" signs that they handed out to many businesses in nearly every town in Mississippi.

Towns began putting up "No Firearms" signs in all public buildings followed by ordinances at every level of local government. The Mississippi Association of Supervisors distributed Hood's opinion on their website highlighting the section identifying "sensitive places" as being legal to regulate firearms. Many of these places are in direct violation of state firearms preemption laws.

Gun owners across the state were in shock. Never had gun rights in Mississippi seen such an attack from law enforcement, public officials, and business owners. Gun forums became the central collaboration point for those wanting to resist the onslaught against their civil rights. However, when it came time to support the overturning of the House Bill 2 injunction at the Mississippi Supreme Court, there was no Mississippi gun rights organization with standing to file an amicus brief.

Mississippi Carry, Inc. is the gun rights organization born out of these attacks on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Mississippi. Gun owners in this state are now wide awake and realize that we must take back the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens.

PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 11 Hours Ago Bloomberg to Air Gun Control Ad During Superbowl Feb 2, 2013Toro520 Via The Associated Press: NEW YORK (Associated Press) – A gun control group founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is airing a Super Bowl advertisement calling for background checks. The 30-second spot by Mayors Against Illegal Guns will air in the Washington area during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. The ad calls on lawmakers to pass rules requiring background checks on guns. It is narrated by children, with “America the Beautiful” playing in the background. It includes decades-old footage of National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre saying the gun lobby group approves of the checks. LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales. A Bloomsberg spokesman would say only that the ad cost in the six-figure range....
