Here's hoping those angry legislative debates don't carry over into the parking lot.
The Mississippi House voted 65-53 Wednesday to lift a ban on lawmakers or others having weapons on the Capitol grounds - for example, in the trunks of their cars.
Weapons would still be banned inside the building.
House Speaker Billy McCoy, D-Rienzi, gave his colleagues a lighthearted warning that they might have to watch out for angry constituents. He recalled one year when legislators were debating a motorcycle helmet law and a bunch of angry bikers came to the Capitol.
"The security had to take some monkey wrenches away from some guests," McCoy said with a chuckle. "You'd better be careful."

* The warning is of course a joke.
