What is required to legally own a firearm in Mississippi?

  1. A firearm safety course completion certificate

  2. Registration of the firearm with the state

  3. Proof of residency in Mississippi

  4. No special requirements beyond federal law

The correct answer is: No special requirements beyond federal law

In Mississippi, the legal requirements for owning a firearm do not include any state-specific regulations beyond what is mandated by federal law. This means that individuals do not need to complete a firearm safety course, register their firearms with the state, or provide proof of residency. Instead, anyone legally permitted to purchase a firearm under federal guidelines can do so without additional state-level requirements. This reflects Mississippi's broader approach to gun ownership, emphasizing personal responsibility and individual rights.
