HB 750 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Firearms and weapons; authorize nonviolent felons to possess and use in defense of residence or motor vehicle.

HB 750 would allow individuals convicted of nonviolent felonies to legally possess firearms and certain deadly weapons solely for defending their home or motor vehicle. It directly affects nonviolent felony offenders by removing their existing ban on firearm possession, but requires proof they reside at the property or own the vehicle where the weapon is kept. The bill does not change restrictions for violent felons or allow general firearm ownership. This legislation died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
