Mississippi
Attorney General Jim Hood (D) recently issued an opinion stating that Section 45-9-101 of the Mississippi Code – the state's "Right to Carry" law – does not authorize a permit holder to carry a pistol "concealed in part," but rather it requires that the firearm be completely concealed. According to this opinion, it is illegal for both regular and enhanced carry permit holders to carry open and holstered, or partially-visible, pistols on their person. Additionally, any permit holders who accidentally display their firearms could potentially be subject to unlawful carry charges. The NRA-ILA will review the implications of this opinion and keep you informed on the pursuit of future state legislation to protect your right to defend yourself in a lawful, responsible manner.
