Still need a carry permit when holstered and concealed. I have the “enhanced” permit which allows carry in schools/churches and a few other places that are normally restricted. If we were fully constitutional carry, the permits would no longer be required - I may be mistaken as my mind says maybe the permits are to foster carry in States that honor Mississippi permits, but we received “it’s time to renew” notices well after the dates in the article which seems to indicate that any sort of concealed carry requires no permits..

In all the states that have become Constitutional Carry since 1924, the state has retained their structure for obtaining carry permits. Mississipi still issues carry permits while not requiring a permit for concealed carry. It is not surprising that you would receive a notice to renew.
Permits are useful, even with Constitutional Carry, for reciprocity and other purposes.
Typically, the number of permits after Constitutional Carry is passed may decrease slightly, then continues to increase.
