Officials in Mississippi have posted a billboard at their state line, welcoming visitors to the state.

And reminding them to behave.

Their simple, and thought-provoking message, is, "WELCOME TO MISSISSIPPI. WHERE THE FIRING SQUAD IS LEGAL. THINK TWICE."



A report from WREG said it's on Interstate 55 southbound as travelers come from Tennessee.

The messaging, including the billboard, was announced by DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
