You don't lose your rights when you get old, no matter where you choose to live.

Legal in MS and confirmed by the Attorney General in case some gun control sheriff decides otherwise. Guns OK inside Mississippi polling places, attorney general says - Mississippi Business Journal

My polling place is a local community center. There are no metal detectors and no signs indicating guns are prohibited. Still, I think I'll leave my piece under the seat of my car as long as I can park where I can see it. Ordinarily I try to never leave my piece in the car.

For those rare occasions like going to the post office, I have a lockbox in each vehicle.

Good idea. Also separating the ammo from the piece. On rare occasions where I have to leave the piece in the car (visit to courthouse, etc.) I carry a small .22 revolver with a removable cylinder. And stash that separately from the piece. I never forget the killing of Kate Steinle in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant who had obtained a 9 mil by breaking into a car parked on the street. The car was owned by a Bureau of Land Management agent who had left his loaded 9 mil in a backpack under a seat in his SUV while he went into a restaurant for dinner with his family. His carelessness and stupidity cost a young woman her life.

No matter who you are, your natural rights are protected by you alone.

too bad the bad guys do not subscribe to that law.


the only people not carrying will be those who subscribe to the law. that leaves a whole bunch to do as they please and makes such proclamations as 'gun free zones' a sad joke as well as providing a, 'shoot here' sign for some wack job.


the democrats and media have been nurturing hate and fear where there is none and so have shaken the cobwebs from extremists and closet nutjobs on both sides and in the middle.

Lightbulb Are voting booths/polling stations gun-free zones?

They are in Texas.

Probably varies by state, though.

I'm not going to unload and then reload/rechamber every time I store my gun. I try to limit handling it when I am in the car which is not an ideal location. Adding additional steps each time not something I want to do.
