Are background checks required for private gun sales in Mississippi?

  1. Yes, for all sales

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In Mississippi, background checks are not required for private gun sales. This means that individuals can legally sell firearms to each other without undergoing a background check. While licensed gun dealers are still required to conduct background checks for sales made through their businesses, private sales between individuals do not have the same requirement. This is why option B is the correct answer.
