Laws Don't Keep up with Technology

Mississippi Code Sec. 45-11-37 requires exterior doors to public buildings "where people are wont to assemble" to open outward, for fire protection reasons.

What makes this silly? The law has not been updated, so TECHNICALLY buildings with sliding doors are illegal. This is one of those I cannot imagine anyone enforcing, but every business with sliding doors violates this law.
