Hunters Loading Up With A Tax-Free Weekend

With deer and turkey hunting season opening soon in Mississippi it's time for hunters to stock up on ammo or purchase a new gun for the season.  

This weekend, hunters will have the chance to save some money on their guns and ammo during Mississippi's statewide second amendment sales tax holiday.  

It started Friday at 12:01 a.m., through Sunday at midnight, with guns, ammo, and archery equipment being tax-free throughout the state.

Tax-exempt items include pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns, as well as their respective ammo.  Also exempt is a wide range of archery equipment including bows, arrows, arrow rest, arm guards, quivers, and crossbows.  The tax-exempt list also includes hard and soft cases designed to carry firearms or archery equipment, hearing protection, scopes and holsters among the items.
