Mississippi Mayor bans open carry for law-abiding citizens during the pandemic
Colion Noir critically analyzes Jackson, Mississippi Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's executive order banning open carry during a civil emergency. Noir argues the ban is an overreach of power, citing historical precedents and questioning the logic that restricting law-abiding citizens' rights will deter criminals. He emphasizes that open carry laws protect citizens from potential overzealous law enforcement and that criminals typically conceal illegal firearms.
