Bill > HB604

This bill clarifies the procedures for issuing firearms licenses and enhanced carry firearms licenses in Mississippi. The key provisions include: 1) Allowing the Department of Public Safety to issue licenses to carry stun guns, concealed pistols, or revolvers to qualified applicants. The bill outlines the eligibility requirements, application process, and procedures for denying, suspending, or revoking a license. 2) Requiring the Department of Public Safety to maintain statistical records of license suspensions and revocations and make this data publicly available. 3) Allowing honorably retired law enforcement officers and certain military members to obtain an "enhanced carry" license that allows them to carry weapons in additional locations, such as courthouses (except courtrooms), that are generally off-limits for regular license holders. 4) Exempting certain individuals, such as active law enforcement officers, from the licensing requirements. The bill aims to clarify and streamline the firearms licensing procedures in Mississippi.
