This week, the Senate Judiciary B Committee reported out HB 989, the NRA-backed Right-to-Carry reciprocity bill which requires Mississippi to recognize carry permits from any state that recognizes Mississippi permits. HB 989 now moves to the full Senate for final approval. Also, the House Ways & Means Committee reported out SB 2623, the NRA-supported measure creating a specialized NRA license plate and directing fees from such plates to the NRA Foundation State Account for Mississippi, and the House gave final approval to the bill later in the week. SB 2623 now moves to Governor Barbour (R) for his signature.
