Mississippi Open Carry: Laws, Requirements, Application ...

https://gunlawsuits.org/gun-laws/mississippi/open-carry

“Places of worship: You cannot open carry in any church, mosque, or synagogue in the state, except for members of the security team.”

We do have a properly trained security team; therefore, at every service, we have trained team members bearing CONCEALED weapons—Thank God!

At Sunday service I found myself mystified by something shiny. It was Granny's gun holstered, hanging on her hip. She smiled so sweetly. Nodding nervously, I put my eyeballs back in and stared straight ahead at--You guessed it!--a pistol protruding from the pastor's shirt pocket. And then I woke up! This time it was just a dream, I'm happy to say. July 19, 2016, entered in Janis Thompson's Choka contest April 21, 2021 entered in Anthony Biaanco's Guns Poetry Contest

There are pros and cons to it but personally think more pros…as long as it doesn't get like the wild west that is!:)

Thank you, Sara. Actually, it's legal now in Mississippi--other states too--but I haven't SEEN it yet in church. I have seen this in Walmart! Janice
