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

Yes, for all sales
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but exceptions exist for family transfers

The correct answer is: No

In Alabama, private gun sales do not require a background check by law. This means that anyone can legally sell or purchase a firearm from someone else without going through a background check process. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they state that a background check is required in some form, which is not the case in Alabama. It is important to note, however, that federal law still requires licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks for all gun sales, including private sales, regardless of state laws. Therefore, while a background check may not be required for private gun sales in Alabama, it is still recommended to ensure safe and responsible gun ownership.
