Mississippi open-carry gun law will not take effect Monday

1. But Mississippi is only

trying to become Number One:

"States like Mississippi with high gun ownership and weak gun laws lead the nation in gun deaths, concludes a new report by the non-profit Violence Policy Center based in Washington, D.C. The Magnolia state ranks No. 2 for gun deaths with a rate of 18.32 deaths per 100,000, right behind neighboring Louisiana with a rate of 19.87 deaths"

Which, not surprisingly would make them even more unique:

"Mississippi has the lowest literacy rate in the nation...roughly 20-percent of Mississippi adults cannot read."
