Does Mississippi require a background check for private gun sales?

Yes, for all transactions
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, for all sales at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In Mississippi, private gun sales do not require a background check. This means that individuals can buy and sell firearms to each other without the necessity of having a background check conducted through a licensed dealer. This law is consistent with the broader legal framework in Mississippi where private transactions between individuals are not regulated in the same way as sales conducted through federally licensed firearms dealers. The option indicating that background checks are required for all transactions would not apply because Mississippi law does not impose such a requirement for private sales. Similarly, the idea that only handguns or sales at gun shows mandate background checks does not align with Mississippi's legislative framework, which does not stipulate these conditions for private sales.
