Whether you believe one should be able to carry everywhere or not, the law in Mississippi states that "no guns" signs carry the weight of the law. She was carrying inside a building that had signage prohibiting concealed carry. Having a permit does not put me above the law or allow me to ignore the law; on the contrary, I am more observant of the law. It does "us" no good to take the approach that we have a permit and, the law be damned, I am going to carry anywhere I please. That kind of attitude only hurts our cause and give fuel to the anti-gun crowd. The woman in the article broke the law(s) and should pay the price.
