Is open carry of a firearm legal in Mississippi without a permit?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. No, it's completely banned

  3. Yes, but only in rural areas

  4. Yes, but it's restricted in certain cities

The correct answer is: Yes, without any restrictions

In Mississippi, the open carry of a firearm is indeed legal without a permit. This law allows individuals to openly carry firearms, which is supported by the state's legislation. The lack of restrictions mentioned in the correct choice indicates that individuals can carry firearms in this manner without needing to acquire a special permit, making it more straightforward for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights. However, while there are no state restrictions on open carry, local ordinances might impose specific regulations on where firearms can be carried openly, but this does not contradict the overarching legal framework that allows open carry in general.
