Are there any locations in Mississippi where it is illegal to carry a firearm, even with a permit?

No, permit holders can carry everywhere
Yes, including schools and government buildings
Only federal buildings
Only in bars and restaurants

The correct answer is: Yes, including schools and government buildings

In Mississippi, certain locations are designated as prohibited areas for carrying firearms, even for those who hold a valid permit. These restrictions are put in place to ensure safety in sensitive environments. For instance, carrying a firearm is illegal in schools, which includes any property used for educational purposes, as well as at daycare centers and other child facilities. Additionally, government buildings have their own specific regulations that disallow firearms in courthouses and other designated government premises. The rationale behind these restrictions is to provide security and peace of mind in places where large groups of people, especially children, gather or where legal proceedings take place. Understanding where firearms cannot be carried is essential for responsible gun ownership and compliance with state laws.
