State of miss. Legislature is attempting to pass legilsation
to make it legal to carry firearms into sporting events.
I've been to SEC football games. I can't imagine a worse idea that's ever been proposed.

Well as good as Alabama and Auburn are anything Ole Miss and Mississippi State can do to even the odds is probably a good idea.

If you are ever in Jackson, the civil rights museum is worth a visit. Set aside a lot of time if you want to take in everything.

I am from Mississippi. Good memory. I’ve read a few bits about the museum and I understand it is very good. I had to laugh about a few comments from black Mississippians who said they would be (paraphrasing) ~skipping an organized shiny display of a condition in which they still live every day~.ip_law-hokie wrote:I think I recall that you are from down that way.Once wrote:It’s Mississippi.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on what day it is, I have no reason to return to Mississippi. My parents are now dead as is my brother who lived there. I have one dear friend who is a Special Asst. Attorney General with the state who lives in Jackson, but I usually see her when either of us is traveling for work or nonsense. No compelling reason to return unless I want to visit the places I spread my parents’ ashes (I’ll not sure I’d be welcomed back again to William Faulkner and Estelle Oldham Faulkner’s fron yard after that... ).

Re: State of miss. Legislature is attempting to pass legilsa
I agree that it’s another unsurprising attempt at pretzel legislation from the state of Mississippi, a method of governance that works surprisingly well there. They aren’t great at thinking 6 moves ahead, wouldn’t recognize the value of the long game if it smacked them fairly in the flag, and generally work very hard to maintain the status quo, which may include many positive features, but lamentably also includes just enough self sabotage to keep them forevermore squarely in the camp of enormous drain on the federal government.

Where it’s true that public institutions in Mississippi have enacted policy to subvert a 7-year-old law allowing blah blah, this legislation provides some teeth to challenge it (a pretzel maneuver that is all too common in Mississippi politics). On the face of it, nothing is illegal or wrong about that. I merely believe Mississippi is its own worst enemy much of the time. See comments about the long game, etc.

Pretty much. I’m just a mildly interested bystander at this point. My opinion on guns in general is pretty straightforward and static. The US has a very strong and powerful gun culture. Getting my knickers in a knot about the existence of weaponry in the US is unproductive. People possess them for various reasons, some good, some bad, and some very bad in my subjective opinion.ip_law-hokie wrote:I expect she’s fine with it, so long as it stays in Mississippi.cwtcr hokie wrote:So you agree there is nothing wrong with bill, great!Once wrote:I did read it.

We are headed to France in May for our second house hunting trip. We’ve narrowed the area and should own something by the end of the year. WOOT WOOT! We are now just under 6 years from hanging it all up and putting out our “Retired and Loving it!” sign.
I’m glad you got to see some of Mississippi. It’s a very beautiful state in some ways. You can see how brokenness and poverty can create some of the best music, poetry, and food. There will always be things I love about it.

Re: State of miss. Legislature is attempting to pass legilsa
Outside of Jackson, the area reminds me a lot of southside Virginia - Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Halifax counties. I understand the delta region has the worse poverty, and area to the east is relatively better off.

The Midi Pyrenees/Occitanie (Ariege and Haute Garonne) down near the Spanish border. Once we realized that only the five riches royals in Europe could afford to live in Southeast France on the coast (and we regrettably aren't among them), we turned our search elsewhere. Foix and Bagneres de Luchon are the two population centers we are looking at. A bit of French legal trivia: France doesn't give one wit what your American will says with regard to right of succession for real property. Without a deliberate and specific French HANDWRITTEN will, should I expire before SDHokie, my nearest blood relative (in my case - my brother) will inherit my share of our home there. We were there in December to look at houses and didn't find anything we really loved, but the area is stunning.ip_law-hokie wrote:
