Mississippi Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Does Mississippi require a permit to carry a concealed handgun in public?

1. Yes, in all cases

2. No

3. Yes, but only in certain areas

4. Yes, but there are numerous exceptions

The correct answer is: No

Mississippi does not require a permit to carry a concealed handgun in public. Unlike other states, Mississippi has constitutional carry laws which allow individuals to carry a concealed weapon without a permit as long as they are legally allowed to possess a firearm. This means that option A, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest that a permit is required. However, option D is the most misleading as it states that there are exceptions, when in fact there are no exceptions for constitutional carry in Mississippi. Option B is the correct answer as it directly states that no permit is required. It is important to note that while a permit is not required, individuals still need to follow all other state and federal laws regarding firearm possession and use.
