MDPS Commissioner Sean Tindell joins the show to talk about gun safety and other issues
SUMMARY: The WLOX News This Week segment, hosted by Dave Elliott, began by discussing a measure in Mississippi that would allow teachers to carry guns in classrooms after completing a gun course offered by the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Education. The goal of the program is to ensure that schools are safer, especially considering most school shootings happen within three minutes, faster than law enforcement can usually respond. The program is voluntary and includes a two-week training on firearms and self-defense.
Mississippi's Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell talked about improvements made such as drastically reducing the backlog in autopsy reports, modernizing the driver's license renewal process, and increasing safety in schools and on roads. Specific attention was given to the expansion of the Capitol Police, aiming to make Jackson safer without politicizing public safety. Tindell mentioned their work has led to a decrease in crime rates, especially homicides, and emphasized the importance of removing politics from public safety matters.
Here to talk about that, the crime lab and other safety issues Mississippi Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell.

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Storms Approaching” Thursday Night Forecast
SUMMARY: The Weather Authority gives a final look outside before the evening. Rainfall is mostly to the west, with showers and storms approaching. Temperatures are in the upper 50s to lower 60s, with fairly calm winds from the east-southeast. There is a 40% chance of showers and storms, so it's advised to carry an umbrella and drive slower. Severe weather threat is lower than in areas to the west, as shown on the Mississippi Power Doppler. The frontal system will affect the duration, intensity, and size of the storms, with a wet night and tomorrow expected.
Thursday November 30th, 2023: Throughout Thursday, we've been monitoring the changing potential for showers and thunderstorms across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The day started with three levels of severe risk issued by the Storm Prediction Center. Fairly quickly into the midday hours, the Storm Prediction Center dropped their overall encompassing risk areas to a marginal and slight risk. During the afternoon hours, some convection cranked up into Texas, but didn't look as strong heading into Louisiana. Our risk for severe thunderstorms was already much lower than areas to the west, but heading into the overnight hours, it appears lower than initially anticipated as well. Multiple rounds of rainfall, showers, and a few thunderstorms is likely through the overnight hours into Friday morning, but doesn't appear overly concerning at this time.
As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.

Miller Lite Nutcracker
SUMMARY: Miller Lite is selling a beer cracker, which looks like a nutcracker but is used to open beer bottles. It has two beer openers and is selling for $30 on their website until December 1st. The beer cracker is a great gift for beer lovers and may also be a good Christmas present. If 30 dollars is not a bad price, maybe free shipping when buying two.
