Mississippi: Permit-less Purse Carry Approved
The House on Friday passed one of the first House-Senate conference reports, or final agreements, filed this session. Senate Bill 2394, which originally only reduced fees for concealed carry permits, in its final version includes language to allow concealed carry of a gun in “a purse, bag, handbag, satchel or other similar bag or briefcase or fully enclosed case.”
The Senate is expected to approve the agreement and send it to the governor.
“Most ladies don’t want to carry a gun on their hip for the world to see,” said House Judiciary Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton. “Men may, but ladies may not.”
Gov. Phil Bryant said he will “absolutely” sign the bill into law, and noted his wife, Deborah, might find it handy for carrying her Ruger .380.
“She’s a darned good shot,” Bryant said
via Purse-packing gun law passes the House.
There we go, a totally sexist bill. Whatever happened to Equal Rights? This is clearly and Anti-Male bill 😀
As silly as it may seem, it shows the importance of reading and knowing the process of how the laws of your state are made. And also shows that sometimes “good enough” is an advancement that should not be impeded by the silly demand of “Perfect.” Mississippi tried to get total permitless carry, but it did not congeal in this session, maybe for next year but still one step forward was taken and that cannot be dismissed.
No Compromise is just another way of saying “We don’t get shit done.”
