What type of firearm carry is permitted on the streets of Mississippi without a permit?

Open carry
Concealed carry without a permit
Both A and B
Neither A nor B

The correct answer is: Open carry

In Mississippi, individuals are allowed to openly carry firearms without a permit. This means that a person can have a firearm in plain sight in a holster or similar carry method while walking or moving about in public areas. Open carry is recognized by state law, and individuals exercising this option are within their legal rights as long as they are not prohibited from possessing a firearm due to legal restrictions or other disqualifying factors. Concealed carry, on the other hand, requires a permit in Mississippi. This means that if a person wishes to carry a firearm in a concealed manner, they must go through the permitting process established by the state. Therefore, while open carry is permitted without a permit, concealed carry without a permit is not allowed under Mississippi law.
