Firearms Policy


As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal, state, and local laws, to legally possess firearms in this park. It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal firearms laws before entering this park. As a starting point, you are encouraged to visit the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives website and select Mississippi from the list.

Federal law 18 USC 930 prohibits firearms in certain facilities in this park; those places have signs posted at all public entrances to identify them and notify the public that firearms are not allowed in those areas.

Any firearm that is prohibited by State or Federal law is prohibited at Natchez National Historical Park.
