Firearms; criminalize possession of by certain persons and order removal after a hearing with a specific finding of risk.
SB 2339 makes it unlawful for individuals subject to certain domestic restraining orders (with specific findings of risk) or convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to possess firearms or ammunition. The bill requires courts to explicitly find that firearm retention poses a safety risk to the petitioner, children, or vulnerable persons before ordering removal. It mandates that court clerks enter firearm removal orders into Mississippi's protection order registry within 12 hours and deliver copies to law enforcement via electronic or hand-delivery methods. Violations carry penalties of up to $10,000 fines or 2-10 years in prison.
