MS HB664

Parents or legal guardians of minors under 18 may voluntarily surrender firearms owned, possessed, or controlled by the minor to law enforcement and receive civil and criminal immunity for any actions taken with that firearm, regardless of whether it was used in a crime.

Firearm delivery can occur at any police station, law enforcement agency, or by requesting an officer to come to a residence or place of business, with no identification, photographs, or fingerprints required.

No payment will be made for surrendered firearms, and law enforcement must check with the District Attorney or Attorney General whether the firearm is needed as evidence; if not, it must be destroyed.

Amends existing law to require that firearms surrendered under government programs must be either destroyed or sold at auction to federally licensed dealers, with unsold firearms destroyed rather than disposed of at the agency's discretion.

The act takes effect July 1, 2026.
