Carrying without a permit within Mississippi

January 11, 2016

§ 97-37-1. Deadly weapons; carrying while concealed; use or attempt to use; penalties; “concealed” defined
Any person above the age of eighteen (18) is allowed to carry a concealed firearm or other deadly weapons in his own home or business and in his vehicle.

45-9-101. The state does not require any type of permit/license in carrying an unloaded or loaded pistol, stun gun or revolver in a handbag, satchel or other similar bag that can keep a weapon “fully enclosed”.

Note: With “fully enclosed”, nationalcarryacademy.com believes that the law means that the firearm should not be on the body. It must be kept inside a closed container that meets their requirements. The weapon should not be easily visible even if the bag is not open.
