What is the age requirement for possessing a firearm on one's own premises or as a participant in certain activities such as hunting and target shooting in Mississippi?

18
16
21
No minimum age with parental consent

The correct answer is: 18

The age requirement for possessing a firearm in Mississippi is 18 years old. This means that at the age of 18, an individual can legally possess a firearm on their own premises or while participating in certain activities like hunting and target shooting. Option B (16 years old) and Option C (21 years old) are incorrect because they do not match the actual age requirement stated in the question. Option D (no minimum age with parental consent) is also incorrect because while it may be legal for a minor to possess a firearm with parental consent in some states, this is not the case in Mississippi. In Mississippi, a person must be 18 years old to possess a firearm, regardless of parental consent. Therefore, the correct answer is A (18 years old).
