Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Lee County. Tupelo is a furniture-manufacturing city in the north-east hills, known as Elvis Presley's birthplace. Lee County dealers take transfers and Mississippi adds no permit or wait.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Mississippi law allows.
Hunting licences, tags and season dates come from the state wildlife agency, not from the dealer; the dealer handles the firearm transfer described here. Mississippi has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Mississippi dealer you name at checkout. The dealer runs the federal background check when you complete ATF Form 4473.
Dealers in these communities all work for Tupelo-area buyers:
Mississippi allows concealed carry without a permit for adults who may lawfully possess a firearm, and open carry is lawful. The firearm permit and enhanced permit are issued by the Department of Public Safety and add reciprocity and access to some otherwise posted places. Courthouses, schools, polling places and posted property remain off limits.
Mississippi runs separate deer calendars for its zones, with archery from October, gun with dogs from mid-November and primitive weapons in December and January. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal, and antler restrictions differ between the Delta and the hill zones. Wild hogs are a nuisance animal and may be taken year-round on private land.
Lee County is rolling hill country in the Northeast Zone, with deer in every creek bottom and the Tombigbee National Forest to the south; antler rules differ from the Delta.
The hill-country whitetail here are hunted from stands over food plots, and the Northeast Zone's dates and antler rules are on the MDWFP page for the county.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to sight in.
