Mississippi Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Where is concealed carry without a permit allowed in Mississippi?

1. In public places

2. On private property only

3. In vehicles

4. Anywhere

The correct answer is: In vehicles

Concealed carry without a permit in Mississippi is specifically allowed in vehicles. This law enables individuals to keep a concealed firearm in their vehicle without the necessity of a permit. The law recognizes that individuals traveling in their own vehicles require the ability to defend themselves and have personal safety measures in place while on the road. The other contexts—public places, private property, or "anywhere"—come with specific restrictions and requirements. While concealed carry is permitted in many areas, it generally requires appropriate licensing, especially in public spaces or private property not owned by the individual. Thus, carrying a concealed firearm in public places without a permit does not align with Mississippi's legal framework, as the concealment laws are more flexible when it comes to vehicles.
