JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The 2025 Mississippi Second Amendment Weekend (MSAW) will take place from Friday, August 29 to Sunday, August 31.

The Mississippi Department of Revenue released a guide to let Mississippians know what’s allowed and what’s not allowed during the tax holiday.

2025 Mississippi Alligator Hunting Season begins this weekend

The MSAW holiday applies statewide to all consumer purchases of firearms, ammunition and hunting supplies. Hunting supplies includes archery equipment, firearm and archery accessories, hearing protection, holsters, belts and slings.

The holiday applies to each eligible item as long as either title or possession of the item or both is transferred from seller to purchaser. The tax holiday also applies to an eligible item delivered after the MSAW time period if the buyer pays for the item during the MSAW time period. The order must be accepted by the seller for immediate shipment. Eligibility will be lost if the buyer requests or causes delayed shipment of the item. The same will be true for sales made by mail, telephone or the internet.

Noneligible items included with eligible items in the same transaction must be itemized separately and taxed accordingly when purchased. Otherwise, the entire transaction is taxable.
