Can individuals convicted of a felony own a firearm in Mississippi?

  1. Yes, after a certain period

  2. Yes, but only if the conviction is expunged

  3. No

  4. Yes, but with restrictions on the type of firearm

The correct answer is: No

While option A may seem like a possibility, in Mississippi, individuals convicted of a felony are permanently prohibited from owning a firearm. Option B may also seem plausible, but the process of expunging a felony conviction in Mississippi is typically only available for first-time, non-violent offenders or for those who were underage at the time of the offense. As for option D, there are currently no laws in Mississippi that allow for a convicted felon to own a firearm with restrictions. Therefore, option C is the most accurate answer.
