Shooting range appeals MS high court decision in wrongful death case
A Mississippi shooting range is reportedly going to be appealing a wrongful death judgment issued by the Mississippi Supreme Court which found that a trial court’s dismissal of the suit was improper.

That same study found that the incidence of serious mental illness is considerably smaller, about 6 percent of the population.
