So the "victim" of the shooting shot himself? What a DA!
" shot himself in the hip as he pulled a handgun from his waistband " .
That's not unusual in such Jackson area yute gunfights.
charged with carrying a concealed weapon? mississippi has constitutional carry
My wife said he was a victim of his own stupidity. I say they should give him a Dumbass Medal to go with his jail time.
On a philosophical level, the irony of his foot shooting leading to jail time or not leading to jail time was a matter of maybe 200 yards, which is my estimate of his being that distance from the food court at the mall in Ridgeland to across county line road into Jackson.
Ain't life strange!
@7:36 not in a business that does not allow firearms and to carry concealed it has to be holstered.
7:38
Ummm, I don't think we have enough dumbass medals to go around.
Talk about everybody deserving a trophy..................
Many interesting observations/deductions.
They caught the 24 year old at Northpark and he snitched on the younger dudes who turned themselves in at RPD. Bailed same day. Different court dates.
Who taught this young gentleman proper grammar? It is gone "too" soon. Not "to". Outlandish.
A good holster goes a long way.
7:36 - Visible in a holster. Concealed carry without a permit is illegal. Waistband is considered concealed - doesn't matter if you can see the weapon or not.
@8:23. That’s no longer the case. The part of statute that was used for years to functionally ban open carry was removed from law in 2013. MS adopted Permitless carry in 2016. However, the statute specifically says the handgun must be in a holster, sheath, briefcase or other closed container. Doesn’t mention a waistband. It also says you can’t be involved in criminal activity beyond a misdemeanor traffic offense, and can’t violate the off limits locations of section 13 of 45-9-101. These dudes violated all of that. North park is posted no guns. Violation of 45-9-101. They were involved in criminal activity. And none of them had holsters for their concealed weapons. Thus, none of them can claim the protection of the permitless carry statute, and they are charged under 97-37-1 accordingly.
Concealed carry without a permit is Mississippi is LEGAL, as long as it is secured in a holster, sheath, or scabbard.
It's not illegal to carry in a GFZ (gun free zone) business UNLESS they ask you to leave. If you refuse to leave it is trespassing, not a gun violation.
Lots of bad info above. Get some education here: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/ms-gun-laws/
Dontcha just love gun nuts when they argue!
Doncha just love comments from anti-Second Amendment nuts?
Kudos to the perp for having his waistband up around his thighs
Guessing Darwin had the day off.
8:23 - Valid. Thanks for the interpretation. Learned something today.
A console (or glove box) is an enclosed case, just as are a satchel, purse (man or woman purse), a scabbard or holster or a safe in the trunk.
On a side note, in 2003 it was illegal to carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle on the Natchez Trace (just ask me) or any other federal parks roadway. The gun, unloaded, was fine, but no ammo in the cylinder or clip.
That soon changed, however, when the feds decided to allow the determination to be made by the non-federal jurisdiction which the federal roadway traverses.
I carry my concealed gun in my pocket. The holster is in my pocket. Am I a law abiding person or a thug?
