Starting July 1, 2011 the State will have a procedure set up for those with a Permit/License to Carry to obtain an endorsement for certain training. The Law says: an instructional course in the safe handling and use of firearms offered by an instructor certified by a nationally recognized organization that customarily offers firearms training, or by any other organization approved by the Department of Public Safety,
If you obtain this endorsement you will be allowed to carry in all places listed as off limits in 45-9-101 except for any police, sheriff or highway patrol station or any detention facility, prison or jail.

MS offers both a standard CCW and the enhanced (instructor certified) permit. They way our laws are written means there are a lot of places the standard permit isn’t valid. Taking the enhanced class (classroom and range qualification by a certified instructor) and paying the necessary fees removes all most all of the restrictions that standard CCW holders are subject to.
With the enhanced permit, carry on school and university campuses, stadiums, courthouses, airport terminals, churches, restaurants/bars, etc. is permitted.

slabsides45The ruling as I understand it says that you CAN take your firearm into a courthouse with the enhanced, just can't take it into the courtroom itself.
Of course, they can set up the deputies right inside the doorway and make you leave the gun there, thus abiding by the letter of the law and still not letting you possess your gun. They'll find a sneaky way around it.
