Are private gun sales permitted in Arkansas without a background check?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but with certain restrictions

  3. No, background checks are always required

  4. Only if selling to a family member

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

Private gun sales are indeed permitted in Arkansas without a background check and without any restrictions. This means that these sales can occur between any two individuals, regardless of their relationship, without a background check being required. This stands in contrast to some other states, where private gun sales may be allowed but with certain restrictions in place, such as background checks or waiting periods. Additionally, in Arkansas, private gun sales are still permitted even if the seller is not acquainted with the buyer, as long as there is no transfer of ownership through a licensed gun dealer. Finally, while it is always recommended to conduct background checks for responsible and safe gun ownership, Arkansas does not require background checks for private gun sales, even when selling to a family member.
