Is a permit required to purchase handguns in Mississippi?

Yes, for all buyers
No
Yes, but only for first-time buyers
Yes, but only for individuals under the age of 25

The correct answer is: No

In Mississippi, a permit is not required to purchase handguns. This aligns with the state's gun laws that allow individuals to buy firearms without a permit, regardless of whether they are purchasing a handgun or a long gun. The absence of a purchase permit simplifies the acquisition process and supports the right to bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment and upheld by state regulations. The other options imply certain conditions or requirements that do not apply in Mississippi's current legal framework, making them inaccurate. Therefore, understanding that no permit is needed for any buyer helps clarify the state's approach to firearm purchases and strengthens one's knowledge of Mississippi gun laws.
