The correct answer is: All of the above

In Mississippi’s concealed carry law, the term 'concealed' is defined as not being visible to the ordinary observation of other individuals. This includes a variety of scenarios where a firearm is not openly displayed. The correct interpretation encompasses all forms of concealment, such as firearms being hidden under clothing, carried in a purse or bag, and any other situation where they are not discernible to someone casually looking at an individual. This comprehensive definition ensures clarity around what constitutes lawful concealed carry. It’s essential for individuals to understand this broader definition to comply fully with the state's regulations and to promote responsible firearm ownership. By including all these scenarios under 'concealed,' the law protects the rights of permit holders while enhancing public safety and awareness regarding firearms.
