Does Indiana law require a background check for all firearm sales, including private transactions?

  1. Yes, for all firearm sales

  2. No, only for sales through a licensed dealer

  3. Yes, but only for handgun sales

  4. No, background checks are not required

The correct answer is: No, only for sales through a licensed dealer

Indiana law does require a background check for all firearm sales, but there are some exceptions. Private transactions, meaning sales between individuals, do not require a background check. However, sales through a licensed dealer, whether for handguns or other firearms, do require a background check. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect because they state that background checks are required for all firearm sales. Option D is also incorrect as it suggests that background checks are never required, which is not true. The correct answer, option B, specifies that background checks are only necessary for sales through a licensed dealer, providing the most accurate and complete information.
