Does Mississippi require a background check for private gun sales?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, for all firearms except rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: No

Mississippi does not require a background check for private gun sales. In Mississippi, private individuals are allowed to sell firearms to other private individuals without the need for a background check. This is what sets it apart from states that do require background checks for some or all private gun sales.
