What is required for an individual to openly carry a firearm in Mississippi?

  1. A permit

  2. Firearm registration

  3. Completion of a safety course

  4. No requirement

The correct answer is: No requirement

In Mississippi, open carry of a firearm does not require a permit, firearm registration, or completion of a safety course. This is in line with the state’s laws that permit individuals to carry firearms openly without any specific prerequisites. Mississippi allows residents who are legally eligible to own firearms the ability to openly carry them in public without facing additional legal barriers. It is important for individuals to still be aware of local laws and regulations regarding open carry, as there may be specific places where carrying a firearm is prohibited even in an open carry situation.
