Jackson Jambalaya

Would it be unconstitutional to microchip these ferals so we can find them?

This is why we can't have nice things-

An unsecured gun in the car means that the vehicle belongs to a staff member who is too stupid and irresponsible for not securing the gun in a $13 gun safe available at Academy Sports.

Were the keys left in the ignition also?

They will 'jack another vehicle and another and another until they are caught.

Just a few more months and they would have been rehabilitated and contributing to the betterment of society. Dang.

Why is a murderer in a youth detention center?

Blame the feds.

9:22 - you or someone else has mentioned this "$13 gun safe" at Academy Sports before. A couple of points here. After searching Academy Sport's website, I could not find a $13 gun safe. And secondly, I carry a revolver in my vehicle, and it is where I have ready access to it, not in a gun safe. I don't carry around a gun to make it tough for thugs to steal; I carry it for my immediate, personal protection.

These idiots in Hinds County couldn't run a slop kitchen. Incompetent AF.

This is their 2nd escape from that place. Broke out 11:30 Sunday night. "According to Jones, 14 juveniles attempted to overpower a guard and got out of their cells. During this incident, three teens escaped and another three were injured." They have already found the vehicle they stole.

These are the same ones from the last incident of this at Henley Young. Wtf?

How would you like to be named after this wretched facility?

@9:41 AM - you are correct, there is no $13 safe, it is called a Lock Box. The price is now $9.99. But let me educate you a little further. Not all venues/destinations allow firearms inside, and that would include the kiddy jail, so a secure mechanism is required. A glove box does not cut it, nor does shoving it under your seat.

Love those pictures! Now we know how they'll look, standing at windows, peering in through the screens.

Why would anyone carry around a gun in a locked safe in their trunk when in Jackson. Does anyone thing any of the thugs in Jackson will wait for you to go to your trunk and unlock a safe and get your gun? When in Jackson a loaded gun should be within reach at all times.

Supervisor Robert Graham is responsible.

@9:41 AM, and in doing so you make your gun easier for thugs to steal. Well done!!

And they'll leave the light on for them

@11:36 AM - Let me help you with reading comprehension. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TAKE YOUR GUN WITH YOU INTO A BUSINESS, so it must be left in your vehicle.

NO, you don't leave it secured in the lock box while driving around Jackistan.

Yes. Apparently the same kids. Perhaps the continuing education on how to bust out for the others is either on hold due to budget constraints or they aren't the sharpest criminals, yet.

Someone please inform and educate the WSJ folks that this is what we deal with on a daily basis in the Sip and why we will continually fall behind the rest of civilized society.

1:16 PM, I will take the chance of carrying my gun into any business I want to go into in Jackson rather than take the chance of being killed in the parking lot or the business. You do not yell out you are carrying a gun. Let it come as a surprise to the thugs.

11:54 Why is Graham responsible? Did he approve the building of the facility & not make or hold the spec sheet/punch sheet for final inspection follow requirements? Another waste of taxpayers $$

Okay guys, you made your point about a lock box in your vehicle, but I will restate my position. I keep my weapon where I can get to it quickly. When I exit the vehicle I lock the doors. I am not, repeat not, going to lock it up in a safe every time I get out of my vehicle, and then unlock it when I get back in. If that means thugz can break out a window and steal the weapon, so be it.

This "disturbance" sounds pretty similar to what we called a "riot" last time I checked. Maybe "riot" is on the PC police not to be spoken word list now.

The whole gun in lock box conversation is an interesting one as I have often thought about this.

I think it depends on WHY you have a gun in your car.

If you are like me and need to park It for a while at work prior to shoving off to deer camp, then yes!! lock it up!! ESPECIALLY these 2-3k rifles.

BUT if you are using a handgun in your car as a self defense tool then absolutely not Those need to be within reach loaded and ready whenever you are behind the wheel, just make sure its not visible as a lot of these places do not allow firearms on the premises AT ALL even in your vehicle

suspected of shooting woman in neck, stealing vehicle, according to Adams County Sheriff. In a 2015 Gold Ford Fusion with tag number ADC8276.

The $13 lock box guy is relentless.

I wish he would spend as much time or teaching parents to not raise ferals that steal guns.

The best vehicle gun safe I've seen is 'headrest safe'. Pricey but easy access and secure. Read the specs before trashing the suggestion.

If you are leaving an unsecured weapon in your vehicle -- especially if you're too lazy to lock it up when you leave it -- you are irresponsible and complicit.

Add me to the happily irresponsible crowd that does not lock my gun in a safe.

It is however in my locked car.

I refuse to baby proof the world while making my gun less accessible to me...the law abiding citizen who legally purchased it.
I suggest you vote for leaders that are tougher on crime and punishment and/or volunteer to raise these feral youth with some morals if you think a gun safe in a car is the answer.

If you are breaking into cars and stealing things you belong in a cage. If you are too lazy to get a job and make a living for yourself, you are irresponsible and complicit.

The "ferals" are not buying their guns at pawn shops and gun shows. They are stealing them out of cars. I'll bet if you had to register your guns and were tied to the serial numbers, you'd care more about where they ended up.

Does anyone really think locking a gun in a safe is going to make any difference when they steal the whole car? If they can steal a car they should be able to open a gun safe.
