yeah of course about 10 seconds after i started this thread i found that 
appreciate the help though
do have a question though i was thinking about it i dont live at the address that is listed on my drivers license anymore however i still live in the Miss obviously. The problem is that i am fresh out of college and currently live with my parents until i get a good job and make a little cash but i can't prove i live at my new address as none of the bills are in my name.
basically, im trying to figure out if they will let me put my new address on the permit without going through the trouble of getting my drivers license changed. im thinking no chance

It might possibly hurt your chances at a permit. I believe you are required to have an updated address on your license after som many days of new residence in most states.

yeah now that im thinkin about it i might as well just get the drivers license changed, it'll be much simpler
ETA: and of course you can't change your address online so it's off to the DMV for me

Don't know for sure about Miss, but in Alaska, the two physical addresses must match. I would call DPS and ask.

The good news here is if you have a liberal arts degree you can just use your folk's address.
You're gonna be there awhile.

Damn that's expensive. I paid $7 to renew mine in AL, but that's determined by county.

How long you think Google's been around? Guns, and responsible gun owners, have been around a hellava lot longer so there's that.

Btw I saw in another thread you said police found brass knuckles in your truck and they let you go, I thought brass knuckles were illegal in some form? Almost certain it's considered a "deadly weapon", which doesn't necessarily make it illegal to possess
