Following implementation of a new law, Magnolia State residents will enjoy Mississippi’s first “Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday” this weekend.
The holiday, which runs Sept. 5-7, came as a result of legislation (http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2014/pdf/SB/2400-2499/SB2425IN.pdf)introduced during the last session that was signed into law by Gov. Phil Bryant in March after receiving wide support in the state legislature. The measure implemented the annual three day period in which the state’s normally mandatory 7 percent sales tax is not collected on the sale of firearms, ammunition, archery equipment, and hunting supplies.
