Mississippi Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Can a non-resident own a firearm in Mississippi?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only if they have a permit from their state

4. Only if the firearm is registered in Mississippi

The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, a non-resident can own a firearm in Mississippi. There are no specific state laws in Mississippi that prohibit non-residents from owning firearms. It is important to note that federal laws also allow non-residents to own firearms in the United States as long as they meet certain requirements, such as being legally allowed to purchase and possess a firearm. This makes choice A the correct answer. Choices C and D are incorrect because Mississippi does not require a permit from another state or gun registration in Mississippi for non-residents to own firearms in the state.
