Mississippi Passes Off-Body Constitutional Carry

[RugersGR8]

This bill even goes beyond Off-Body Carry in the fact of what it does for vets and LE's.

..."The bill also specifies that disabled veterans, people on active-duty military service and current or honorably retired law enforcement officers don’t need a license to carry a concealed weapon . . ."...

Another step forward.

I am not saying the bill is perfect(see Ayoob video) but at least it is NOT anti-gun legislation.

Great, another "special class" who get more rights than the rest of us.

Why not for everyone?

Exactly. The last thing we need is more special classes of citizens. If a GI can carry as a civilian without a permit...joe blow should be able to as well.

This will happen, we lost our rights incrementally, we'll have to get them back incrementally. Unfortunately this is just the way it works. Sometimes public opinion plays more of a role than the bill of rights.

While I'm 100% in favor of increased rights, I'm 100% against off body carry and anything that encourages it. What mental midget wrote this crap?

While I agree that ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS should have the EXACT SAME 2nd Amendment Rights ACROSS THE BOARD, I would not be opposed to disabled vets/LE's getting some type of fee waiver/etc. as a perk. No, I did not serve but my father and uncles all did. With the BF'n that the .gov and the VA are giving to vets, I think they deserve some type of perk(s) for their service to their country.
