Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm in Mississippi?

State parks
Restaurants serving alcohol
School property
Private vehicles

The correct answer is: School property

In Mississippi, it is illegal to carry a firearm on school property. This law is rooted in the state's commitment to ensuring safety in educational environments. The legislation specifically prohibits the possession of firearms on any property owned, operated, or controlled by a K-12 school or institution of higher education. This restriction reflects broader national concerns regarding school safety and aims to create a secure setting for students and staff. In contrast, other locations mentioned do allow for specific conditions under which firearms can be carried. For example, while there are regulations regarding the carrying of firearms in restaurants serving alcohol, and certain restrictions concerning state parks, the law allows for concealed carry under specific situations provided that the person has the proper permit. Likewise, carrying firearms in private vehicles is generally permissible in Mississippi, reinforcing the point that there are designated exceptions and regulations governing where firearms may be legally carried.
