Which of the following locations is NOT a designated gun-free zone in Mississippi?

  1. Schools

  2. Courthouses

  3. Private businesses that allow firearms

  4. Polling places

The correct answer is: Private businesses that allow firearms

In Mississippi, certain locations are specified as gun-free zones where the possession of firearms is restricted. These locations include schools, courthouses, and polling places, where the law generally prohibits individuals from carrying weapons to ensure safety and security. Private businesses, however, have the ability to allow firearms on their premises unless they explicitly post signs prohibiting it. This means that if a private business chooses not to impose restrictions on firearms, it is not classified as a gun-free zone. Consequently, private businesses that allow firearms do not fall under the same regulations applicable to schools, courthouses, or polling places, which is why this answer is correct.
