Firearms licensed; require proof of mental health evaluation.

HB 340 requires applicants for a Mississippi concealed carry license to provide proof of a mental health evaluation demonstrating they do not have a disqualifying mental illness. This change directly affects individuals seeking a concealed firearm license by adding a new eligibility requirement to the existing criteria. The bill amends Section 45-9-101 to mandate this mental health evaluation as part of the application process, alongside standard requirements like age, residency, and criminal history checks. It does not apply to current license holders but affects all new applicants seeking concealed carry authorization in Mississippi.
