Is a background check required when transferring a firearm between private parties in Arkansas?

Yes, in all cases
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, if the seller has reason to believe the buyer cannot legally possess firearms

The correct answer is: No

In Arkansas, private party firearm transfers do not require a background check to be conducted. Options A and C are incorrect because they specify that a background check is required in some capacity. Option D is incorrect because a seller does not need to have a reason to believe that the buyer cannot legally possess firearms in order for a private party transfer to occur without a background check. Option B is correct because it states that no background check is required for private party transfers in Arkansas. Due to the lack of background check requirement in this state, it is important for both parties involved in the transfer to thoroughly discuss and understand the legal responsibilities and implications of their exchange.
