I never realized how much of a pain in the ass and restrictive it was until I moved. When I got here I looked up the gun laws. Ms has Constitutional carry. If you can legally own it, you can legally carry it concealed to include in a vehicle. The only restriction is government buildings, churches, and schools. You can get a CCW permit the same way we did in Ohio and that allows you to carry in schools, government buildings, churches, and the best part, legal immunity against trespassing claims from business with no CCW signs. They can't legally tell you that you can't carry in their business. They have stand your ground and castle doctrine. Castle doctrine extends to the immediate vicinity of your house, vehicle, and workplace or business. It also provides blanket immunity against civil action regardless of location if no charges are filed or you are found not guilty. Basically the law is, If you can own it, carry it, if you need it, use it.
