Prohibited Purchasers Generally in Mississippi

Federal law prohibits certain persons from purchasing or possessing firearms, such as felons, certain domestic abusers, and certain people with a history of mental illness.

In addition, Mississippi incorporates some of the federal prohibitions as state offenses. Mississippi prohibits the possession of a firearm by any person convicted of a felony under federal law or the laws of any state. Mississippi also prohibits transferring to any person who is known to be intoxicated any of the following:

- A deadly weapon;
- A weapon the carrying of which concealed is prohibited; or
- A pistol cartridge
