State's first gun sales tax holiday set for this weekend

Mississippi's first gun sales tax holiday is set for this weekend.

Gov. Phil Bryant signed the Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday into law last year. It allows for the tax-free sales of guns, ammunition and certain hunting supplies on the first weekend of September.

"With dove season underway and deer season less than a month away, this weekend is a great time to take advantage of this tax break," said Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves. "Mississippians love to hunt, and this sales tax holiday makes it a little less expensive to enjoy the outdoors. I'm thankful for the support of the National Rifle Association on this effort and many other strong Second Amendment protections we've recently passed."

This year's holiday runs from 12:01 a.m. Friday through midnight Sunday.

Mississippi voters will consider declaring hunting and fishing a state constitutional right during the Nov. 4 General Election.
