 I carried while we ate at the buffet and had no trouble. I will say that i got more  :shock:looks than i have ever got in my life lol I did not go into the gaming part of the casino because i just stopped to eat while passing through so not sure what kind of reation i would have gotten there.

Casino's regulate firearms on their own terms, they solve the problem themselves.  It's kindof a grey area for casino's because they serve drinks, but it's not specifically for drinks...Which is why almost all of them ban firearms from their property.

If there is no sign, don't hesitate even though you'll probably get followed by security and them asked to leave/surrender the gun/cops called on you.  However, I used to work at one of the casino's (not saying which :P) and their "no firearms" sign used to be behind a plant :banghead: and you could barely see it...also if they knew you had a firearm and you parked in the garage they would demand you "turn it over for safe keeping" or you'd be trespassed from the property.

i thought the sign had to be plainly visible at 10ft away or something like that to be legal?

I guess I should have been more clear, it used to be for the longest time, behind a plant :P

I figured until I have a problem somewhere I would start condensing the postings...The problem with this is I forget where all I have been. 

Anyway, I OC'd at Walmart, the LY Buffet, Lowes and a couple gas stations (and probably a couple other places I can't remember) this past week in the Pascagoula - Moss Point area with no problems.

I get the most 'nervous glances' at the LY Buffet, but definately no problems.

OC'd again at the Interstate Chevron, Lowes, Walmart, KFC and a few other places in the Moss Point/Pascagoula area that I have forgotten, anyway no problems.

Although it isn't on the coast, I OC'd at the Kangaroo convenience store/truck stop (XT-112) in Canton, MS with no problem, but was in there only for a few minutes.

Also OC'd at Hardees in Laurel MS, they were very slow and even though I sat SS out, I don't think anyone noticed.

Kudos' to UPS for allowing their employees to protect themselves by CCing while on the job:)

Oc'd this morning around Gautier and stopped at the Kangaroo at the intersction of 90 and 57 to get gas with no problem.  I stopped at Singing River Mall for few minutes but didn't have any reason to go inside the mall.  Has anyone carried openly inside the mall?

I've open carried into the Sears store twice (SR Mall), but I entered from the stores north entrance then ate at the La Fiesta Brava restaurant, but there again, I entered from the outside, not from within the mall.
