Can a non-resident carry a concealed firearm in Mississippi with an out-of-state permit?

Yes, if the state has reciprocity with Mississippi
No, non-residents must obtain a Mississippi permit
Yes, but only while passing through the state
No, non-residents are not allowed to carry firearms

The correct answer is: Yes, if the state has reciprocity with Mississippi

Some states have agreements with other states (known as reciprocity) that allow individuals with an out-of-state permit to carry a concealed firearm within their borders. However, this is only valid if the out-of-state permit is issued by a state that has reciprocity with the state where the individual is currently located. Option B is incorrect because non-residents are not required to obtain a Mississippi permit as long as their state has reciprocity. Option C is incorrect because individuals can potentially carry a concealed firearm throughout the state, not just while passing through. Option D is incorrect because non-residents are allowed to carry firearms as long as they have a permit from a state with reciprocity.
