The Open-Carry fight is over. The city of Jackson surrendered on the fight to ban the open-carry of firearms and entered into a consent decree in federal court. The order is posted below.
Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba banned the open-carry of firearms on April 24. The Lumumba Administration liked the open-carry law to Jim Crow.
State Representative Dana Criswell sued to overturn the gun ban in U.S. District Court. Attorney General Lynn Fitch later joined in the fun as she filed an amicus curiae brief.
The key part of the four-page order is:
2. The City of Jackson, by and through its Mayor, its City Council, or its other officials, agents, employees, successors and all persons in active concert or participation with itJudge Daniel P. Jordan, III presided over the case.
shall not adopt any orders, resolutions, ordinances, policies, or practices which have the purpose
or effect of directly or indirectly prohibiting, restricting, or inhibiting the open carry of firearms, unless a statute or law of the State of Mississippi is adopted or amended to specifically prohibit, restrict, or inhibit the open carry of firearms in Mississippi, or to specifically authorize municipalities to do so, and such statute or law is not held violative of the United States Constitution or the Mississippi Constitution by a court of competent jurisdiction.

How could this be? I thought he surrounded himself with all types of attorneys that claim they are smarter than everyone else. I guess anyone can get a law degree these days.
Mayor Gumflapper got what he wanted from this fiasco - street cred with Bloomberg and the wannabe gun grabbers in his ultra liberal, "blame white people" social circle.
Shock-way the grandstander
It’s about time for him to learn a lesson. Everyone does not bow to him!
1st and 2nd amendment still means something.
'It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game.'
I for one will be glad when the EPA goes after who ever is responsible for the crap in the Pearl river , this shit has got be delt with.
Soooo, can a faculty member carry onto school/college grounds? State law says yes, but "policies" have been posted saying no. Anyone want to annoy the idiot Attorney General? File suit against the IHL for violating state law. those policies didn't fly with the Courthouses....they shouldn't fly for the colleges/schools. 3....2....1.....any legal scumbags on here?
When I think of Choche I think of the Song “Everybody Plays the Fool” (Arron Neville).....
EXACTLY he could not win this fight and he knew it. He Was Posing for Bloomberg. But it got him some press and since he doesn't do anything else gave him something to keep him busy. I only rank him slightly ahead of his predecessor in worst Jackson Mayors since that guy cost us so much in settlements.
Crow should be served warm, with a white whine.
Wow just in time for Soros financed and instigated civil unrest over the state flag!
So now he can go to New York and tell his comrades how the state turned the peaceful city of Jackson into a shooting gallery. So shoot all you want, it's a free ride from here!
On other 2A news SCOTUS denies cert for ALL 10 cases.
Now we have a federal consent decree that says we can partially conceal our weapons. Untuck your shirt and you are good to go.
Could this be the beginning of the turn?
9:17, beginning of a turn? The hand isn’t even close to the steering wheel...
Since the Mayor's spokeswoman stated to opposed the Mayor's goal is to support Jim Crow type law, does this mean Lumumba is now a convert Jim Crow mentality of Stokes, Stamps et al?
I yearn for a return to the days when every citizen was assumed to be armed. Now if only we can just convince the legislature to decriminalize dueling. That way when someone feels like their street cred or mother has been dishonored, they can issue the challenge to restore their honor. Afterward, the winner will not be called a murderer. Of course anyone can refuse the challenge and be branded a yellow bellied snake of a coward.
