Does Mississippi recognize concealed carry permits from other states?

  1. Yes, from all states

  2. Yes, but only from states with reciprocal agreements

  3. No

  4. Only from neighboring states

The correct answer is: Yes, from all states

Mississippi does recognize concealed carry permits from other states, which allows individuals who possess a valid concealed carry permit issued by another state to carry a concealed firearm in Mississippi. This provision facilitates the movement of gun owners across state lines, acknowledging the legitimacy of other states' licensing standards. However, it is essential to note that Mississippi's recognition applies broadly and does not mandate that these other states have a reciprocal agreement in place. This means that as long as the out-of-state permit is valid and issued in compliance with that state's laws, it will be honored in Mississippi, making it easier for lawful gun owners from various states to carry firearms while visiting or residing in Mississippi.
