Supervisors unsure how to deal with new gun law

 
Chickasaw County supervisors aren’t quite sure how to proceed when it comes to a new state law that says local government entities can not prohibit those who have the legal right to carry guns from bringing their weapons into a government building.
Currently, there are signs that read “no weapons allowed” at the Courthouse, the County Attorney’s Office and the Chickasaw Community Services building.

“Should we do the same? I don’t know, but I think we need to talk about this and figure it out,” Hackman said.
