Mississippi Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What is required to legally purchase a firearm in Mississippi?

1. Mississippi driver's license

2. Completion of a firearms safety course

3. A state-issued firearm permit

4. None of the above

The correct answer is: None of the above

To legally purchase a firearm in Mississippi, there are generally no specific requirements such as possessing a Mississippi driver's license, completing a firearms safety course, or holding a state-issued firearm permit. This is why selecting "none of the above" is the correct choice. In Mississippi, an individual can purchase a firearm without undergoing a background check or providing documentation to demonstrate safety training or state residency, as the state has relatively permissive gun laws. However, while federal laws mandate that a buyer must fill out a background check form when purchasing from a licensed dealer, these state laws do not impose additional requirements in the context of the choices provided.
