Mississippi Carry Laws
There's a fairly good chance I may be moving to Mississippi (Starkville area) within the year. My GWL is only 2 years old. I plan to stay there for several years, so I'll probably switch over to a Mississippi firearms permit. I'm curious, would my GWL remain valid for the full 5 years, even if I change my permanent address to MS?
Looks like they have a 1 year residency requirement that *may* be waived if you've got an existing out-of-state permit. I'm not looking forward to their $100 fee.

Does anyone here have any experiences carrying in MS that they'd like to convey? I'm curious if anyone happens to know if I'd qualify for a renewal-level fee $50 vs. the first timer-fee $100. Any GPO users with MS carry-related info?MS 45-9-101
