In Alabama, who is responsible for conducting background checks before a handgun purchase?

  1. The Alabama Bureau of Investigation

  2. The Federal Bureau of Investigation

  3. Local law enforcement

  4. Alabama Department of Public Safety

The correct answer is: The Federal Bureau of Investigation

In Alabama, the responsibility for conducting background checks before a handgun purchase falls under the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI conducts background checks through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to determine if the buyer is eligible to possess a firearm under federal and state law. This process helps ensure that individuals prohibited from owning firearms, such as convicted felons or individuals with certain domestic violence restraining orders, are not able to purchase handguns legally.
