Mississippi’s knife laws are already covered in depth on this website but readers can find another source of information on the knife laws of Mississippi as well as Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Alabama, Texas, and Mississippi here.

Perhaps because I would not recommend this in the first place, I had not […]
In today’s Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal’s editorial section was an article written by Cathy Grace, “a Tupelo resident and a member of IndivisibleNEMS, a group who respects the Second Amendment and advocates for a reasonable approach the role of federal and state government should play to protect the rights and lives of all Americans.” That sounds […]
A very good friend I do not see often enough recently asked me for a flashlight recommendation. Being both a gadget lover and a geek, I told him I already had a spreadsheet started.
