Under Mississippi law, what is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without permission from a parent or guardian?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 20 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Mississippi, the law stipulates that a person must be at least 18 years old to possess and transport a handgun without needing permission from a parent or guardian. This legal age aligns with the typical age of adulthood in many contexts, recognizing that individuals at this age are generally considered responsible enough to handle firearms. Those under 18 are usually required to have parental consent or be in certain circumstances outlined by the law, thereby ensuring that minors have some level of oversight when it comes to firearm possession. This framework helps promote responsible ownership and use of firearms within the community.
