We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I just remembered to post this - it was a busy weekend and I forgot for a few days.
Saturday 10/24, around 11:30 AM, I was in transit between Academy Sports in Hattiesburg and the public range in Brooklyn - on Hardy St. in front of USM campus to be exact. Saw a young-ish man walking on the...
...was in the Hattiesburg Hwy 49 Wal-Mart Sunday afternoon around 1:20PM? I saw a feller in blue jeans and a 5.11 T-shirt with an OWB holstered pistol walking through the store as I entered, but he was too far away for me to get his attention and I didn't want to make a scene. ;) I was pretty...
Recently a raft of "no firearms/weapons allowed" signs have been appearing around Hattiesburg, especially on city and county buildings. The one that really pissed me off is on the Hattiesburg/Petal/Forrest County library (because I like to get books from there occasionally). In a reply from the...
As I type a post including long quoted sections of state law, it occurred to me that it would be nice to have a collapsible-box-of-text tag. Something that I can wrap around a large block of text and have it collapsed by default, with a link/button/whatever to expand/collapse it.
I'm trying to...
Looks like Rep. Gipson wants to clarify that whole "concealment" thing. :)

I haven't exhaustively read the bill text yet, but...
I was shopping at Sam's Club with my 1-year-old daughter last night. An older gentleman approached me in the aisle and asked "if one had to be an officer of the law to wear that", referring to my RIA 1911 on my hip. A very cordial conversation ensued about legal carry in MS, and the reasons for...
Let's get some answers from folks. What date and time would you be able to make it to Hattiesburg for an open carry meet?
I should add that if it's Sunday I won't be able to make it, so someone else will have to take over final arrangements.
I'm perusing the MS Code for any laws specifying how you must identify yourself to a police officer during a "Terry stop". I have read cites in other threads that some states only require you to verbally identify yourself by your name and address, and that you are not required to have any sort...
After reading the excellent and plentiful advice given in Jim Thorpe's thread asking about a home defense shotgun, I had some more questions about recommendations for a shotgun light+mount.
I have a Remington 870 Express 20ga Youth model (1" or 2" shorter LOP, so my wife can hold it...

At the OC breakfast this morning I was asked whether I had experienced any negative LEO attention. I said that I had never had any trouble from anybody, not even a question or a scared look. Today that changed... :)
This afternoon I went to the Lowe's in Hammond with my parents...

I live in the carry-confused state of MS, but I travel back to LA every weekend to attend a house church, and visit friends and family. Most times I can't really OC, since we drive straight to my in-laws' house without stopping, and there are so many little children around that...
