Mississippi Now Honors Nebraska
RLMoeller:
I don't see it. It appears that the underlined section is the change. That change authorizes them to enter into agreements for reciprocity. That's good. However, it does not establish any reciprocity. I just authorizes the state to enter into those agreements.
It's a good step forward in getting the two states together.
GarySlider:
Here is how the old law read. They changed the Signed agreements area as that is all they had to change to make sure MS could sign agreements if needed for the other state to honor them. You can see how the changed the wording so the first was separated from the second part to make it stand alone.
(19) Any person holding a valid unrevoked and unexpired license to carry stun guns, concealed pistols or revolvers issued in another state shall have such license recognized by this state to carry stun guns, concealed pistols or revolvers, provided that the issuing state authorizes license holders from this state to carry stun guns, concealed pistols or revolvers in such issuing state and the appropriate authority has communicated that fact to the Department of Public Safety.
New Version
(19) Any person holding a valid unrevoked and unexpired 329 license to carry stun guns, concealed pistols or revolvers issued 330 in another state shall have such license recognized by this state 331 to carry stun guns, concealed pistols or revolvers. The 332 Department of Public Safety is authorized to enter into a 333 reciprocal agreement with another state if that state requires a 334 written agreement in order to recognize licenses to carry stun 335 guns, concealed pistols or revolvers issued by this state.
AAllen:
My reading of this statute is Mississippi recognizes all states permits, and if another state requires a reciprocal agreement so Mississippi permits can be honored in that state the Department of Public Safety is authorized to do so.
Note: I am not a Lawyer, especially not one practicing law in Mississippi.
Wymore Wrangler:
Gary, thanks for the clarification, but the scary part still is that the State of Mississipi State Patrol is unaware that the law changed, if your traveling to Miss. I'd carry a copy of this change in the law with you until they update their website...
GarySlider:
They know. If they don't know they all should be fired. It is their job to know the law especially the handgun unit.
