"It is legal to own any knife in Mississippi, unless you are a minor or have been convicted of a felony. Minors and felons may not own bowie, dirk, butcher, or switchblade knifes. You can open carry any knife in Mississippi. You may not conceal carry any bowie, dirk, butcher, of switchblade knife, unless it is concealed in your vehicle and not on your person, or you are fishing, hunting, or participating in some sporting activity in which it is common to use that type of knife."
