Are background checks required for concealed carry permit applicants in Mississippi?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for non-residents

  4. Only for those with previous convictions

The correct answer is: Yes

Background checks are required for concealed carry permit applicants in Mississippi. This is because the state is required to perform a federal background check before issuing a permit. Both residents and non-residents are required to undergo a background check, so option C is incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as background checks are required for all applicants, not just those with previous convictions. Option B is incorrect because without a background check, the state would have no way of determining if an applicant is eligible to carry a concealed weapon.
