In what locations is it prohibited to carry a concealed firearm in Mississippi?

Schools and correctional facilities
Private businesses
Public parks
State forests

The correct answer is: Schools and correctional facilities

It is prohibited to carry a concealed firearm in schools and correctional facilities in Mississippi because these are areas where the presence of firearms could pose a potential danger to individuals or could interfere with the proper functioning of the facilities. While private businesses may choose to prohibit the carrying of firearms on their premises, it is not a statewide prohibition. Similarly, carrying a concealed firearm in public parks is generally allowed, as long as it is not in designated "gun-free zones." State forests, however, are not explicitly mentioned in Mississippi's concealed carry laws and therefore it is not prohibited to carry a concealed firearm in those locations.
