What is required to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alabama?

A state-issued ID only
A concealed carry permit
A background check
Alabama residency proof

The correct answer is: A background check

To purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alabama, you are required to undergo a background check. This is to ensure that individuals with criminal records or other disqualifying factors are not able to purchase a firearm. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because while they may be required for other activities related to firearms, they are not specifically required for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alabama. Option A is incorrect because a state-issued ID alone does not provide information about an individual's criminal history. Option B is incorrect because a concealed carry permit is not necessary for purchasing a handgun, only for carrying a concealed handgun in public. Option D is incorrect because Alabama residency proof may be required for purchasing a handgun from a private seller, but not from a licensed dealer who is required to perform a background check.
