Mississippi Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In Mississippi, what is the term for transferring a firearm to another individual without background checks or documentation?

1. Illegal sale

2. Private transfer

3. Federal transfer

4. Unauthorized sale

The correct answer is: Private transfer

In Mississippi, an individual can legally sell or transfer a firearm to another individual without going through a licensed dealer and completing a background check or filling out any documentation. This is known as a private transfer and is the only option among the choices provided that accurately describes this process in the state of Mississippi. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either refer to illegal sales (which is not the case in Mississippi) or suggest that there is a federal or unauthorized method of transferring firearms without a background check, which is not the case.
