NRA-Backed Legislation Advancing in Mississippi!

Friday, February 20, 2009

Two important pieces of NRA-backed legislation have passed the Senate and could be considered by the House Judiciary B Committee at any time. 

Senate Bill 2036 sponsored by State Senator Merle Flowers (R) would amend the state's emergency powers laws to create additional protections for law-abiding citizens against the confiscation of privately-owned firearms during a future state of emergency or natural disaster.  

Senate Bill 2306, also introduced by Flowers, repeals a prohibition in the state's Right-to-Carry law on permit holders possessing handguns in certain parks. The current statute makes no distinction between national, state or local parks.  Unless this bill passes, permit holders in Mississippi and reciprocal states will not benefit from the recent rule change adopted by the Department of the Interior allowing them to carry in national parks located within the state's boundaries

Please contact members of the House Judiciary B Committee via email and urge them to support SB 2036 & SB 2306.  Contact information can be found below.
