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

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only if the state has reciprocity with Mississippi

  3. No

  4. Yes, but they must apply for a Mississippi permit within 30 days

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

The correct answer is the one indicating that a non-resident can carry a concealed weapon in Mississippi with an out-of-state permit only if the issuing state has reciprocity with Mississippi. Reciprocity means that both states recognize each other's concealed carry permits, allowing non-residents to carry in a state as long as their home state’s laws align in this regard. Mississippi law indeed specifically provides for the condition of reciprocity; if a state does not have a reciprocal agreement with Mississippi, then the non-resident's permit would not be valid for carry within the state. Therefore, understanding the nuances of reciprocity is essential for anyone looking to carry concealed in Mississippi with an out-of-state permit.
