Lower tax on firearm safes

Beginning July 1, 2026, qualifying firearm safes are exempt from Mississippi sales tax during the annual Second Amendment Weekend. The weekend starts at 12:01 a.m. on the last Friday in August and ends at midnight the following Sunday. A safe must be a locking, non-glass-faced container designed to securely store one or more firearms. The sale qualifies when title or possession transfers during the weekend, or when you pay and the seller accepts your order for immediate shipment; later delivery qualifies if you did not request or cause the delay.
