    Mississippian confused

    I work for long terms (a month or two) in different states. As Mississippi is a constitutional state I do not have a CCW. But in states that allow carry without a permit I carry. Before coming to Georgia, to work on your new Vogtle nuclear plant, I read that open carry is only allowed with a...

My rig is a Ruger New Model Blackhawk .45 Colt in a Bianchi leather holster. The knife is my Grandfathers from WW1, which I added a bone handle and the leather sheath. I also...

After filling up I went into the store, but checked the door to make sure there was mot a “No Firearms” sign first, which there was not. In my home state, Mississippi, I open carry...
