Starting this summer, anyone with a concealed-weapons permit can carry a handgun legally in Mississippi parks.
Senate Judiciary B Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, D-Oxford, said Monday that the new Mississippi law is consistent with a federal law enacted in February.
The federal law says licensed gun owners may take firearms into national parks and wildlife refuges as long as they're allowed by state law.
Gov. Haley Barbour signed Senate Bill 2862 last week, removing the prohibition on guns in parks.
The new law takes effect July 1.
