During the 1990 session, the Mississippi Legislature passed legislation authorizing the Department of Public Safety to issue statewide firearm permits to individuals who make application and pay a fee. All original permits are issued from the Headquarters Firearm Permit Unit. Renewal permits are issued from district driver’s license substations as long as there is no problem with the renewal that must be addressed by the Headquarters Firearm Permit Unit. This unit is also responsible for issuing statewide firearm permits to security guards.
