Mississippi’s open carry law was set to go into effect today. Despite a temporary court injunction (which is sure to be overturned soon) Mississippi will soon be a fairly gun friendly state [1]. For example, it is a non-discretionary concealed carry state. Freedom is on the march! [2]

July 1st is the birthday of the late Oakley Hall [3]. (Born, 1920, died May 12, 2008.) He wrote several popular novels, including The Downhill Racers and Warlock. (Both of which were turned into feature films.) I had the pleasure of meeting Oakley in 1975. He was a close friend of my Uncle Joseph Brower, and my Aunt Gayle (Rawles) Brower. When I met him, I thought: “What a great way to make a living–getting paid to write books about the things that you like.” One of my prized possessions is a set of three autographed hardback Oakley Hall novels, that were a gift from my Aunt Gayle and Uncle Joe. But perhaps being introduced to Oakley Hall was an even greater gift, since it helped set me on my career path.
