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

Yes, for all firearm sales
Yes, but only for handguns
No, it is not required
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No, it is not required

In Arkansas, a background check is not required for private gun sales. This legal framework allows individuals to sell firearms to one another privately without formal checks or documentation, differentiating these transactions from sales made through licensed dealers, which do require background checks. The other choices suggest various scenarios where background checks might be required, but Arkansas maintains a more lenient stance regarding private transactions. This means that sales conducted between individuals—whether handguns, long guns, or at gun shows—do not necessitate a background check under state law, making the assertion that no background check is required the accurate statement. This law reflects a broader regulatory approach within the state regarding private firearm transactions.
