Mississippi Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

The age requirement for possessing a firearm in Mississippi is 18 years old. This means that at the age of 18, an individual can legally possess a firearm on their own premises or while participating in certain activities like hunting and target shooting.

Option B (16 years old) and Option C (21 years old) are incorrect because they do not match the actual age requirement stated in the question.

Option D (no minimum age with parental consent) is also incorrect because while it may be legal for a minor to possess a firearm with parental consent in some states, this is not the case in Mississippi. In Mississippi, a person must be 18 years old to possess a firearm, regardless of parental consent.

Therefore, the correct answer is A (18 years old).
