In Mississippi, can a non-resident apply for a concealed handgun permit?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. No, only residents can apply

  3. Yes, if they work in Mississippi

  4. Yes, but with additional requirements

The correct answer is: Yes, if they work in Mississippi

In Mississippi, non-residents can apply for a concealed handgun permit, but there are specific conditions that must be met. One key requirement is that these individuals typically need to have a verifiable reason for their permit request, such as being employed in the state. This necessity reflects an understanding of the state's public safety regulations while accommodating those who may need to carry a firearm for work-related purposes. Thus, the ability for non-residents to apply hinges initially on their professional ties to Mississippi.
