Is a background check required for private gun sales in Indiana?

Yes
No
Only for sales at gun shows
Only if the seller is a licensed dealer

The correct answer is: No

In Indiana, background checks are not required for private gun sales between individuals who are not licensed dealers. This means that if person A sells a firearm to person B without the involvement of a Federally Licensed Firearm Dealer, they do not have to conduct a background check. This lack of requirement is in contrast to sales conducted by licensed dealers, where a background check is mandatory. The other options suggest scenarios where a background check might be needed either during private sales, at gun shows, or under specific conditions involving licensed dealers, but current Indiana law does not impose any requirements for private transactions. This highlights the state's approach to firearm sales among private individuals, which can differ significantly from regulations surrounding licensed dealers and commercial sales.
