Mississippi SB2123 requires background checks for firearm transfers at gun shows by non-licensed dealers.

The prospective transferor must obtain approval from the Department of Public Safety after the background check is requested by a licensed gun dealer. The bill defines terms such as "transferee" and "gun show" and provides exceptions to the background check requirement. It also outlines criminal penalties for violations and specifies that the provisions do not alter the duties of licensed gun dealers.
