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

Yes, in all cases
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In Indiana, a background check is not required for private gun sales. This means individuals can sell firearms to each other without undergoing the background check process that is typically mandated for sales through licensed dealers. The absence of this requirement applies regardless of the type of firearm being sold, whether it be a handgun, rifle, or shotgun. Understanding that background checks are required for sales conducted through licensed dealers highlights the distinction between private sales and commercial transactions. While individuals are encouraged to ensure that they are selling to responsible buyers, the law does not impose checks on private sales, making option B the correct choice.
