Mississippi is a 'shall issue' state for concealed carry permits. What does 'shall issue' mean?

Local authorities have discretion over permit issuance
Permits are issued automatically to applicants
Permits must be issued if the applicant meets legal requirements
No permit is required to carry concealed

The correct answer is: Permits must be issued if the applicant meets legal requirements

'Shall issue' means that the state must issue a concealed carry permit to an applicant if they meet all legal requirements. This means that the state does not have discretion and cannot deny an eligible applicant a concealed carry permit. Option A is incorrect because 'shall issue' does not give local authorities discretion. Option B is incorrect because permits are not automatically issued, the applicant must meet certain requirements. Option D is also incorrect because a permit is required to carry concealed in Mississippi.
