quote :" Pender - Mississippi becomes open carry state with new gun law"



I’ll say it again: House Bill 2, signed into law by the governor, allows a Mississippian, with or without a permit, to strap on a pistol and stroll about in public.

That fact appears to now be dawning on some folks, including law enforcement and even some lawmakers who passed the bill, which becomes law July 1.

The new law defines concealed carry, saying a gun doesn’t have to be fully concealed as long as it’s in a proper holster. But it also states that openly carrying is allowed. A permit is required only for concealed carry, which no longer has to be very concealed.

Nice to see more states doing open carry. There is a lot to be said about open carry a great crime reducer. Who is going to rob a store if most of the people inside are armed. The people up in Washington should take note that these states will not give in to there anti gun schemes to disarm the people who obey the law.

Even when I carried concealed with my tee shirt pulled over my holster its sort of hard not to notice a 5inch Barrell 1911 45 semi-auto. lol.

I am not one of these guys that carry a impotent weapon like some do.Mine is chambered with hammer back and safety on ..one flick of thumb and squeeze back strap and WE HOT !!!

Brick I was thinking about you the other night when they were having a segment on the first round of M16's in Vietnam..they said the slightest dirt or dust would cause a jam.. Said the soliders were in heavy fire fight and catch a jam. The tried cleaning their m16's while taking on AK-47 rounds. NOT GOOD.!! U remember those days brick ?????

Too many times Juice. A lot of the SF guys would pack AK's and chance catching friendly fire, cuz you could pull them right out of a mud hole and they'd work. The 16 was the beginning of the 'new breed' of war rifles and they had much to learn and apply from our 'field testing'......

Any one yet tried the new Frog Lube ? LOVE it ! They send lots of it free of charge to our troops in the rock pile and our guys/gals eat it up. Do a google for 'frog Lube'.

Thats the only way to carry a 1911. The 1911 is the most battle proven sidearm out there and you can't dispute the stopping power of the 45ACP round. Brick I will bet you guys trying to make those M16s work would have loved to have had the M14s back.

I love how this started out as a "whats wrong with the forum" post and now we are talking about our favorite guns!

I wielded 14's in basic training. HEAVY LOG compared to the 16. And then packing lots of 7.62 ammo as well was ARG ! Wasn't ever privileged to subject a 14 to what the 16 went through, but talking with vets who did, they had a LOT less jamming issues with the 14. The M1 carbine woulda been better than the 16 in the early years. Short, light, accurate.
The modern AR type base is sooooo much advanced, LIGHTER, and doesn't jam as easily as the early 16's. With all the body armor they have to wear, ANYthing to lighten the load and still pack lots of water and ammo is priority.

The AR have come a very long way and still getting better. I know a lot of the high end ones ($$$$$) have gone to a piston system rather than a gas tube. The M14s are heavy I have handled a modern version the M1A1 I am sure they are lighter than the originals. That 7.62 ammo is bulky to carry for sure. The AK 47 is anther great weapon that has stood the test of time although often used against our troops or newer versions of the rifle (AK74).
