Mississippi gun regulations on ATF web site

Not sure if this has been posted or not but ATF has collected all the Mississippi regulations on guns and posted them here:

Other states can be looked up here:

There have been several threads on armour piercing ammo, guns in the posession of minors, renewal of CCW permits, and such. This puts all the regulations in one place.

Some of it is interesting. For example:

Deadly weapons; dealers to keep
record of weapons sold. Every merchant or
dealer or pawnbroker that sells bowie-knifes,
dirk-knifes, pistols, brass or metallic knuckles or
slungshots, shall keep a record of all sales of
such weapons sold, showing the description of
the weapons, the name of the purchaser, and
the description of weapons date of sale. This
record to be opened to public inspection at any
time to persons desiring to see it.

Regarding guns in vehicles at schools:

(6) It shall not be a violation of this section for
any person to possess or carry, whether openly
or concealed, any gun, rifle, pistol or other firearm
of any kind on educational property if:
(a) The person is not a student attending
school on any educational property;
(b) The firearm is within a motor vehicle; and
(c) The person does not brandish, exhibit or
display the firearm in any careless, angry or
threatening manner.

Regarding silencers and armor piercing ammo:

It shall be unlawful
for any person, persons, corporation or manufacturing
establishment, not duly authorized under
federal law, to make, manufacture, sell or
possess any instrument or device which, if used
on firearms of any kind, will arrest or muffle the
report of said firearm when shot or fired or armor
piercing ammunition as defined in federal law.

Are these new laws? The possession on school property has always been a no no I thought.

Scruggs in Tupelo sells .223 armor piercing green-tips...

I think the key part of the school thing is (b).... Leave it in your vehicle......

Sidebar.... Is "Scruggs" the same father & son team that is now in Club Fed.....?

Just as a note on this link...
The ATF publication that lists all of the states laws is published every 2 years. The 2008 hard copy shipped this year. Be aware that LOTS may have changed in the time between.

Just a little trivia here but green tip .223 (5.56x45mm) rounds (M855 and variants) aren't armor piercing. They have a solid core with a penetrator tip but are not designated as AP by the ATF. The AP .223 round (M995) also has a black tip. And just as an aside, don't confuse US designations with NATO designations. SS109 is a NATO designation of European manufacture and while it has a black tip, it is also not AP. A lot of unscrupulous vendors will sell SS109 as AP when it actually is not.
