What is required for a person to legally sell a firearm in Mississippi?

A federal firearms license
State issued seller's permit
Background check on the buyer
No specific requirements

The correct answer is: No specific requirements

In Mississippi, there are no specific state requirements that a person must meet in order to legally sell a firearm. This includes not requiring a federal firearms license or a state-issued seller's permit. In general, private sales of firearms between individuals do not need to be reported to the state, and there is no statutory requirement for conducting a background check on the buyer for such transactions. However, it should be noted that federal laws do apply, and individuals engaged in the business of selling firearms may need a federal firearms license, but this typically does not apply to casual, private sales. Understanding the nuances of these regulations can help individuals navigate firearm sales while remaining compliant with both state and federal laws.
