Well, gin is not our drink of choice. We are more likely to drink beer or whiskey. 
Seriously, Missisippi consistently rates near the bottom on the Brady list---which is a good thing.
You can own as many guns as you can afford. The state does not care. The state also prohibits cities from getting involved.
We can get concealed carry permits but there is not too much reason. We have one of the strongest Castle Laws anywhere: you can shoot anybody you feel threatens you in your home, car, boat, camper, or place of business. The DA cannot prosecute you.
Probably (just guessing) 30% or more people (men and women) are packing in most places and nobody cares.

And if you live here you'd BETTER have a gun. Otherwise, folks will think you're plumb weird.
We let a few bluebellies in every year, but they have to agree to not try to convert us to yankeeism. First sign of proselytizing we ship them right back up north.

We're one of the few open carry states too, but you have to have a license to carry a concealed weapon...yea, I know, sounds weird lol.

We welcome yanks too. No funny stuff though. We are real strict with our gin laws, can't just anyone copy us. As far as gin goes leave it at the Mason Dixon line check in station. As well as snow shoes and ice fishing gear. You will have to have at least one pair of cut off britches before you are allowed across the state line.
