Hello everyone. I have a couple of nagging questions for anyone literate in Mississippi gun laws.
1. Since I bought my Kahr CW9 shortly after my 21st birthday this year, I have been keeping it in a cheapo holster secured between the center console and passenger seat of my car. I like the setup since it keeps the pistol easily within reach when I'm seated and driving. Typically when I get into the car I unholster from my hip and reholster into the "seat rig." As Mississippi is a Castle Law state and the law appears to be that if you can legally own the weapon in question then it can be kept in your personal vehicle, concealed or otherwise. I was just wanting a second opinion on this as I've contested it with a few deputy sherrifs that have pulled me over (only for a broken headlight).
2. I am currently employed with a certain retail company based out of Chicago and company policy is that employees are not allowed to have weapons of any type (including knives longer than 2 inches) anywhere on company property, including their vehicles. I believe that State law says that I have the right to keep the pistol in my car regardless of what the company says. Is that correct?
3. I am a full time college student and often go straight from school to work. The parking lot of the mall where the store is located is infamous for muggings and assaults. I don't have time to go home before going to work and I refuse to be in that area unarmed. My question is whether it is legal for me to keep my pistol in the car while on campus. (I don't press the issue and I'm always sure to remove it from the seat holster and lock it away when I come on campus).
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
