SUMMARY: This weekend, firearm enthusiasts can take advantage of Mississippi’s annual Second Amendment sales tax holiday, allowing them to purchase rifles, pistols, ammunition, and certain accessories without paying state sales tax. Local retailers, like Heritage Firearms in Hattiesburg, report increased foot traffic and sales, likening the event to Black Friday for firearm sales. Customers appreciate the savings on items that can cost hundreds of dollars, making it an important financial opportunity. The tax-free weekend runs until midnight on Sunday, and residents can find details about eligible items on local news websites.

SUMMARY: Brillan Williams, a football player from Tupelo High School, has been ruled ineligible by the MHSAA for the 2024-2025 school year after transferring from Nettleton High School. The MHSAA determined that Williams’ move was not a bona fide transfer, stating it was purely for athletic reasons and occurred outside the transfer window.
