I have been doing some research on the laws regarding CCW, and according to what I have found so far. open carry is legal to anyone who can legally possess that firearm who is at least 18 year old. but as expected you need to be 21 or older to acquire a concealed carry permit. but I found also that Mississippi is a constitutional carry sate but the law doesn't state the minimum age to constitutionally carry.source for my findings§ 97-37-1. Deadly weapons; carrying while concealed; use or attempt to use; penalties; "concealed" defined (2) It shall not be a violation of this section for any person over the age of eighteen (18) years to carry a firearm or deadly weapon concealed within the confines of his own home or his place of business, or any real property associated with his home or business or within any motor vehicle. Laws, 2013, ch. 308,§ 1, § 45-9-101 (24) A license under this section is not required for a loaded or unloaded pistol or revolver to be carried upon the person in a sheath, belt holster or shoulder holster or in a purse, handbag, satchel, other similar bag or briefcase or fully enclosed case if the person is not engaged in criminal activity other than a misdemeanor traffic offense, is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a pistol or revolver under state or federal law, and is not in a location prohibited under subsection (13) of this section.2021, ch. 464, § 1 SB 2225,§ 1, eff. 7/1/2020.Note: The law states, “carried upon the person in a sheath, belt holster or shoulder holster,” Handgunlaw.us recommends that until they define or a court states what is a “Sheath” that when you carry your defensive handgun in a concealed manner on your body without a valid permit to carry that you only carry it in a holster that attaches to your belt or a shoulder holster.it seems similar to how there is no minimum age for possession of a long gun and shotgun.also I saw one person say that a IWB holster doesn't count as a holster listed for where it must be carried upon the body. so if anyone could clarify that, it would help.I would rather carry pepper spray or a different form of self defense, rather then risk getting arrested because of a non defined age requirement. So I would like some second opinions. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/3bftpkL
