Jackson Jambalaya

I thought carrying a firearm on duty was a termination level offense for state employees unless they are sworn law enforcement? State employees with enhanced permits have been told for years they cannot carry at work.

He's obviously a 'big shot' in his own mind.

Sounds like somebody is trying to get that police officer lunch discount! What a f***ing disgrace….to the men and woman that protect and serve our community and earned a badge, it’s a disgrace to the families of fallen officers in our community to see this prick go out and play let’s be cops! Just a damn disgrace

I don’t know about directors but inspectors frequently do wear badges and firearms. 90% of what they deal with a drug violations. If you walk in to shut down a fraudulent opioid prescription operation, you better be armed.

How does his PERS account look? Smells like he's shooting for his highest 4 years of pay.

Dentist’s must be a rough crowd to keep in line.

A wannabe cop

What a tool.

In state government it ain't who you know, it's which legislator you.....

I-20 take the Whitfield exit.

The dental board’s only option is to fire him. Disgrace

This is an open carry state. If the establishment has no problem with it, he can wear the gun if not an LEO.

For people who don't think open carry is absurd enough, I present you open cross draw revolvers... Somebody needs to mock him to his face.

Ok so let me get this straight. The dental board enforces ethical violations but let’s the executive director carry a gun and gun and he is not certified? They have done nothing to him? That is what is unethical from an agency that is supposed to be ethical.

This "Barney Fife" wannabe better watch out for those fun girls from Mount Pilot.

Another mediocre white male with an inflated sense of self importance.
Just like the blog owner.

Stolen Valor.

(and abject humiliation)

Representative of the dipshittery we have at Boards and Commissions statewide. Do we really even need a Board of Dental Examiners?

Having the gun via open carry is one thing. Even then, one would still have to comply with any other applicable directives. However, having the badge and the gun, looks like he's trying to play "LEO," especially given that he's got it around his neck on a chain. Any LEO agency head might have a badge on their chest or in the pocket. And the only logical question to follow is: Why is he doing this?

Is he really carrying cross-draw? What a complete idiot.

Does he keep his one bullet in his shirt pocket? We need to know that.

Maybe he occasionally needs a badge (maybe). But why wear it all the time? And a gun? If I was raiding a dental office where I needed a gun, I would get local police, sheriff, etc. to assist in the raid. Because they are trained and have guns, tasers, kevlar vests, etc.

This looks like someone with an ego and a lack of common sense.

So how does a low level govt employee who has bounced around from state job to state job, I checked him out btw, with no medical or medical admin experience and has never run anything bigger than a lawn mower on the weekend get this job?? Why would he even be in consideration for this job. Question is WTF kinda dental board do we have here?

Absolute Clown. So embarrassing for dentists, who fight the little brother stereotype as it is.
You'll never run across someone wearing a pistol in public or at a private establishment who is sane. Except for on-duty LEOs, they're all clowns who are scared of their shadow or need something to enhance their manhood.

Second question? Why has the senior attorney counsel allowed this to happen? Cover-up? He is bound by ethics duties. Right

That assumes he knows about it. Or knew about it.

Didn't report he was impersonating a Leo.

Sending this to my dentist. Dr Pleasnt. DMV

The Mississippi Board of Dental Examiners should respond IMMEDIATELY with a press conference.

Well he isn’t impersonating a McDonald’s worker! That DA knows what he’s doing! The fact that all pics are taken at lunch makes me question how much he paid for these lunches

rednecks gonna redneck

Also, don’t forget that we have a lot of news stories about urban democrat 15 year olds brandishing stolen guns, riding in stolen cars, and killing people.

@11:10 am, to answer your "WTF kinda dental board do we have here?" the first answer is it's run by someone who's apparently a buffoon and maybe trying to get law enforcement discounts or free meals at restaurants. Second, you have a board member who resigned a treasurer's position with a coast organization because of alleged financial improprieties, but he's still sitting on a board that makes decisions about other people's professional licenses when they have missteps. Meanwhile, the gun toting, badge wearing ED has done nothing about said board member.

typical Ole Miss tool

This is like me referring to myself as "Doctor" because I have a JD.

More importantly, can someone tell me why his holster is facing backwards on his less dominant side? What the hell? Is he in a Wild West Show?

I can’t wait to hear his press conference.
Or will he just resign and fade into the obscurity of county/city government?

He is definitely not having a good day.

Imagine waking up and finding ridiculous pictures of yourself with a badge you didn’t earn and a gun you probably can’t use.

His wife is even laughing at him.

He will be your huckleberry?

He should be prosecuted for repeated felonious clowning …where is shad?

The plantation shirt tells me all I need to know.

Just noticed the “Ole Miss “ shirts, explains everything.

He can’t do a thing about board members. Board hires him, not the other way around.

Lol, what really cracks me up is that he must not know his lunch mate very well!

And, Jesus, stop eating at Picadilly so much! It's like a Mississippi postcard: sweet tea, chicken bones, jaw open, black pepper packets!

He's carrying cross draw. That tells me everything that I need to know about him.

The sad part is that he will find another state government job because he is connected. He didn’t get this job due to his qualifications.

@11:39 AM
What is a redneck?

Crossdraw? He has been watching Dragnet reruns.

Anyone notice that some members of the Hinds Board of Supervisors are wearing badges?

MHP would take him! They’re hiring all kinds of garbage these days! A nun could make it through their new cadet school model! Hell, send him! He’d fit right in!

Chris is a good dude. He obviously rubbed kingfish the wrong way. If he is in the wrong, he’ll own up to it. Geez I don’t get the poison on here sometimes. By the way, it shouldn’t be too hard for him to figure out who took the pictures. What a rat.

Wait, where did all the gun just go? We need more people toting guns, not less.

Kingfish, how will you feel if your humiliating harassment of this man leads to his suicide?

Perfect OM fan who thinks he's more much more important/cooler than he actually is. Whether they're running a ponzi scheme, wearing a dental badge and cross-draw revolver, or just leasing a BMW with daddy's money they're all the same losers.

Why the hell would kingfish feel bad for exposing stuff that this idiot did knowing was wrong! The badge should be respected

@12:15 PM
“All” is plural, so it would be “guns” instead of the singular “gun.”
Example: Where did all the guns just go?

He knows exactly who took those pictures.

This is what irritates me about the state of Mississippi - it's not a poor state. It has plenty of money to do whatever needs to be done. We just have needless boards & commissions with dipshits like this on the payroll.

Ease up on the guy. Bad actor dentists have a very violent history and reputation.

Resign or fire him. Period. Get out.

12:15 : Well ? Is he a cop or not ? DO YOU feel he should be using this as a way to get 10 % off his meal ? If that is what he's doing. Anyway, someone with this much going on it's doubtful he will do himself in over a rinky dink blog.

@12:12 PM
Kingfish is an online bully? I’m not surprised. The majority of cowards hide behind a keyboard and internet connection. My grandmother used to say a person like Kingfish runs to the argument yet runs from the fight. Coward.

"""" FIRST DOOWWWNNNN!" "OLE MISS"! """""

First off, just because it's a badge, you guys assume it is the badge of some law enforcement agency. There are all kinds of badges. Now, why he wears one, who knows. As for the gun, if he is permitted to carry one as a private citizen then so be it. Is this really worth 50+ comments?

I speak for many including 12:15. I really don’t give a rats behind about any of this. I carry and I’m glad others do also. We have bigger issues in this state.

@ 12:30
You must be awfully tough with that gun and badge.

Apart from being a total douche, not sure if there is a crime. You don't need any special authority to go to a police supply store and buy/design a badge. DA's and ADA's are not issued badges, but most go to a police supply store and get one that has been designed and approved by the office. The crime occurs when one uses a badge to impersonate a LEO for instance, pulling someone over, etc.

His argument is no doubt that he is an inspector (of dentists?) and most code enforcers have a law enforcement function and many have badges. It is a bad argument, but it is probably what he has been telling himself for the last year.

If I were him I would just ignore Kingfish. Very few people actually read this little gossip blog.

"Well, I hope Neil Young will remember....."

@12:28 PM
Mississippi is a poor, racist and wildly uneducated state. Mississippi is exactly how your grandparents made it.

He'll shoot his teeth out.

If you're gonna eat for free, go for the Super Dilly!

who cares who took the pictures? He knew he was wearing a badge and gun and pretending to be a police officer.

Oh and last comment @ 1:00- "if i were him i would just ignore kingfish." Well you are on here reading ALL these comments.

I think it's a pretty popular topic with over 60 comments and counting. Let's just keep counting the comments flooding in over this turd.

Open carry is fine and I fully support it, and if he has a legitimate reason for the badge good for him and he has no reason to he ashamed.

If he IS doing something wrong then he deserves to be embarrassed.

Simple as that.

This guy is a joke...I look forward to an announcement that he is now retiring. I also find it amusing that people are attacking KF. Looks like most of you haven't been on your mom's tit since this past weekend and need a nap.

1:00 pm - Apparently you enjoy this little gossip blog quite a bit.

I think it’s hilarious that you can totally tell which of these comments are from this Chris’s guy

I know it’s petty but if he is using that badge and gun to get a LEO discount he is 100% impersonating a certified LEO! Ask some former State Auditor investigators how that works out.

How interesting. My wife filed a complaint against a dentist and the “Board” made up of dentist said her dentist didn’t do anything wrong. They took almost a year to conduct the investigation. She requested documentation of the “investigation”. Her request was denied. She was told that since The Board of Dental Examiners is a law enforcement agency they are not required to respond to Open Records requests. We knew at the time that they were not a law enforcement agency. We contacted the Governor’s Office and were told no one really has oversight of the Board. I wonder if there are others whose legitimate complaints were denied? It would only be fair for the powers that be to reopen and review all of the cases that were denied since this individual has been in charge.

This is clearly a hit job, presumably by the guy who took the pictures. Must have been fired or reprimanded, sent pics to KF for revenge and then made 60 comments. Because no way in hell this many people give a crap about this. I’m sorry Kingfish fell for it.

If you know this guy it doesn’t surprise you. Typical behavior wanting people to think something he is not

Hi, I did not give kingfish these photos.

Thanks,
Stephanie

Damn Kingfish! You brought the noise today! Haven’t seen this many comments on a post in a minute! #defundthefakecops!!!

100% does it to 1) get attention & 2) get a LEO discount. What a douchebag. Most legit law enforcement and departments that allow people to wear a badge try and hide them when in plain clothes. Only when "on assignment" do they pull it out around their neck.

Back the Plaque.

Quote from a commenter - "Chris is a good dude. He obviously rubbed kingfish the wrong way. If he is in the wrong, he’ll own up to it. Geez I don’t get the poison on here sometimes. By the way, it shouldn’t be too hard for him to figure out who took the pictures. What a rat."

I'll bet you $1000 he doesn't own up to it. I guarantee he won't own up to it.

he looks very Ole Missy

I am all too intimately (not sexually--ha ha NEVER!) aware of Mr. Hutchinson. I have watched him since 2018 at the Board meetings. He is out of his depth. He knows nothing about dentistry. At many meetings it has been clear that he does whatever the powerful members of the Board want him to do. He was helped in these endeavors by the recently resigned Board attorney.

I have watched the serious corruption of some members of the Board upfront and personal(ly) as a non-dentist. Until recently, the Dental Board had the same attorney as the Medical Board for years! (No conflict of interest there!). I have complained formally to both Boards to stop this attorney from representing both boards, and nothing ever happened.

I have watched the Board carefully for over 3 years. THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE DENTAL SPECIALIST ON THE BOARD. NOT ONE. Also, not one female dentist on the board, despite having probably 50% of MS's dentists being female.

Because the Board chooses "good ole boys" (and they have one 'set aside' member seat for an African American!), they know little to nothing about issues that come before them, because they are all general dentists. Not one pediatric dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, periodontist, etc.

If you're retired, go watch a Medical Board meeting vs. a Dental Board meeting. It will open your eyes.

I, like many others, watched the Board dither around for nearly 3 years regarding sedation protocols, especially in regards to putting pediatric patient under GENERAL anesthesia in dental OFFICES!

It was clear the Dental Board was going to do whatever the large corporate dental corporations wanted, in order to maximize putting small (mostly Medicaid) patients under general anesthesia in their offices.

The Board bent over backwards regarding training, grandfathering, etc. to allow this practice to continue, unabated.

I have nothing but disdain for the Dental Board over these years, and their previous attorney.

Call Governor Reeves (601-359-3100) and ask to speak to Marcus, an assistant. The Governor is the only person in the state who can fire every dental board member and the Ex. Director.

The Dental Board is a joke. Barney Fife is simply the tip of the iceberg.

The perpetually offended are out in force today on here. I carry in Jackson to prevent getting deleted by the racist democrats and then hide my gun once I cross into Madison or Rankin, I don’t need the rednecks, ex-JPD cops, or
Karens getting all excited when I cruise over into the uppity areas.

Agree. This is a hit job and two or three of the master minds friends with nothing better to do.

I smell retaliation in the air. Hostile work environment maybe? Anyone’s guess. Just fire him.

4:30,
grow up, clown. better yet, just move.

This fellow has clearly pissed the entire office off , maybe that means he’s the problem? Someone like this in one of these positions more than likely has the legal council helping him . I guarantee this guy is up to more than impersonating a police officer .

Absolutely doesn’t surprise me at all. This is typical for him.

If you don't arm yourself to protect yourself and your family against the dental floss tycoons who will protect you and your family??

Back the plaque

Winner

Thanks

A hit job that simply takes pictures of what a dude is intentionally doing in public on several days. Never seen a hit job like that.

@ 6:25 Looking at the pictures this looks self inflicted.

Ask yourself if this guy is really LE or just a poser.

Governor tater: you better tell your appointed board members to get rid of this man. He will destroy the denta board and any reputation it has left. Fire him

I don’t know what the Badge says, maybe “Tooth Inspector”. No crime in open carry. He may not be impersonating a certified LEO but not a doubt he wants to give the impression he is one. It’s definitely a little quirky.

404, the Governor cannot 'fire' board members of the Dental Board. They are appointed for a term. And (without looking it up, but its a good bet) if it is like most of the 600 boards/commissions in the state, the Governor cannot hire or fire the Executive Director - that is reserved to the Board itself.

But thanks for your opinion. Wonder if the accuracy of this closing statement reflects the accuracy of your diatribe about the board's handling of your complaint. Probably not, but it does at least raise the question.

Sending this to my dentist. Dr Pleasnt. DMV

DMV- Department of Motor Vehicle

You meant DDS or a DMD. A dentist with a DDS has earned their Doctor of Dental Surgery degree; one with a DMD earned their Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry or Doctor of Dental Medicine degree.
I guess no one picked up this.

I wouldn't have a problem with him pistol whipping any dentist who refers to himself/herself as "Doctor."

Too all the folks above (dozen or so) that have converted this into a question about open carry - I open carry, its legal; I open carry every time I go into Jackson; etc - one question. Do you wear a badge around your neck? Do you carry and wear the badge only when you go out to eat in a restaurant?

Or, are you on the other hand a responsible, law-abiding citizen that is exercising your right to open carry - but not pretending to be a LEO for any reason but especially for the dipshit reason of getting a free or discounted lunch?

There is a big ass difference, and your comments about 'your' open carrying for whatever reason does nothing but show your ignorance about the post because you left out a major part of the story. He wears a badge he is not entitled to, and only does this it appears when he goes into a restaurant.

Now, of course, if you do this as well, you too are a douchbag. But I truly suspect that none of you do that and you just missed the point of the post.

You really can’t be too smart if you OPEN carry. It is a great way to have your gun taken and used against you. Don’t know what his issue is but a cross draw holster in open carry is just plain DUMB and slow.

It this is a “hit job” then the photoshopper has CIA level skills.

Is he wearing a vest in that first picture?

To all the pro open carry guys, thank you! You ll be target number 1 when it hits the fan.

100 comments before this one. A Kingfish record?

Cross draw is not unusual. That's the way I carry. It's much easier to draw ACROSS the stomach than cock your right elbow up and draw upward. Nothing 'slow' about it. In fact, much faster (and even more discreet), especially when you're seated in a booth, a chair or with the back of a vehicle seat at your elbow.

But, almost nobody who 'open carries' is going to engage in a 'drawing contest'.


By the way...All sorts of employees in this state are issued badges. Examples are state audit field employees, Employment Security Fraud Reps, other agency reps responsible for knocking on doors and conducting investigations. But, we all agree this clown wants everybody to think he's LEO.

Barney never once got a discount at the diner!

@8:38 listen stupid. Different boards have different board members who talk directly to the governor. They put a “little bug in I his war.” We all know the governor appoints board members but the board members have to fire this guy. Not rocket science. Nice try but why don’t you sit down somewhere and shut up: oh and tell everyone this man should be fired.

He’s hurt some dentist’s feelings and now they are trying to push him out. Pathetic.

@6:09am Most of the employees you mentioned may have a badge but are not permitted to have a firearm while on the clock even if they have an enhanced carry permit. The state of MS does not allow non-LEO employees to carry firearms while on the clock.

Plz tell me how this guy is still employed???

Reminds me of Erik Hearon who used to show up at library board meetings wearing his honorary deputy sheriff badge.

7:28 thank you!

[Through a bullhorn] "Doctor, we've got your office surrounded. Come out with your hands up and your teeth out. One false smile and we're giving you some lead fillings and not in your mouth, understand?"

@7:56
You want the truth? He is a member of the same secret societies as the rest of the leadership of this state.

@ Why has the senior attorney counsel allowed this to happen?

Apparently you don't understand how that works.

It is much easier to draw a firearm from a cross draw holster when seated than it is to from a strong side carry. When I’m in Jackson I carry cross draw. Although I do my best to never stop my car. But if I was stupid enough to actually dine at a Jackson restaurant I would want my firearm in a cross draw position.

I love my firearms as much as the next guy but it sure seems there are a ton of "Wyatts" on this thread.

I cannot let this one go by without comment. Anyone who thinks a crossdraw holster is for the average individual, even trained officer, is sadly incorrect.
They are inherently unsafe. They require specialized training and regular practice to use competently. They are designed for the bodyguard/driver who needs to draw his weapon while seated behind the wheel. Or the handicapped guy in a wheelchair. They are not designed for the average (or below average) guy walking around with a weapon.
Drawing the weapon you have to sweep the muzzel across potential victims before getting the sights on target. Anyone standing behind you or alongside you is in danger of being shot with an accidental discharge.
And carrying the gun like this you invite someone to take it away from you. Fools walk around with this type holster.

Please allow me to add. Appendix carry is preferable for someone who thinks cross-draw is for them.

Another primary negative for cross-draw is that the shooting arm can get pinned to the body, which carries a higher chance with open carry. With appendix or side, you can at least get a shot off into the person on you if you clear the holster.

Has it been determined that Chris the Kid has cause to display a badge? On it's face this looks bad that the exec dir of the dental board, of all things, openly displays a badge (I assume he is not LE, otherwise) AND carries his firearm in such a unique manner.

Funniest part of this are his so called " friends" taking his
pic while at lunch with him exposing the Barney Syndrome

To all those advising how best to "carry":

Quit acting like little boys trying to be men. If you need a gun to solve problems in the comings/goings of your life, you're the problem. You approach problems the exact same as those youth in Jackson you fear so badly. You're all clowns.

I've got a cache of guns at the house for sport, but never have I felt so small as to need to carry out of fear like you all do.

At least there aren't any Meal Team Six jokes.

At some point he will been in a situation where he is looked upon to act in the capacity of a law enforcement officer and he cannot OR a duly certified, sworn and in uniform law enforcement officer will ask him to show his credentials. If his credentials show a current firearms qualification he's gold. If he can or cant produce the appropriate credentials I do believe that will settle this.

His little charade will be up.

"Barney Fife" with his gun. I hope Governor Tata Reeves demands he keeps his single round securely chambered in his shirt pocket. What a complete baffoon.

stolen valor

7:28 - Thanks for that red herring, but I didn't mention carrying a gun being a right in that post. In fact, in an earlier post I did in fact state that carrying or possessing a firearm on duty is a violation of policy unless authorized specifically to do so (state employees).

I did defend the so called practice of cross-draw, in general, since several posters seemed to think it was nuts. But, my primary point is that there are more than a few state employees who carry and produce badges who are not LEO.

This clown obviously wants to be perceived as LEO in order to get a lunch discount. Whatchu bet he's also driving his company car home which puts him on duty 24/7, armed.

Small wee wee syndrome!!

DOR investigators all carry badges and guns. For what it’s worth.

Agree with the comments that all this negativity is probably from a butt hurt ex employee. How else do you get close-ups like that?

Begs the question - Who the hell would go to lunch with this clown? Wouldn't that be like asking if you could sit on a stool beside Goober at The Diner?

About cross draw:
https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/cross-draw-carry/

When he started at (a different state agency ~2012/2013) the importance of when he was going to get his badge outweighed whatever the heck he was hired to do.even had the audacity to have one of the Commissioners call to find out. He’s an idiot.
