Firearm endorsement; require to be placed on driver's license.
HB 73 would require Mississippi driver's licenses, renewals, or permits to display a special designation for licensed firearm holders. Specifically, it would mandate that the state's driver's license department add "CCP" (for concealed carry permit) or "EHP" (for enhanced firearm endorsement) to licenses of individuals legally permitted to carry firearms under state law. This would apply to anyone presenting a valid concealed carry permit (Section 45-9-101) or firearm permit (Section 97-37-7(2)) when applying for or renewing their license. The bill would not change firearm laws but would add a visible identifier on licenses for those who legally carry concealed weapons.
