Can private firearm sales be conducted without a background check in Delaware?

Yes, without restrictions
No, background checks are required
Only for rifles and shotguns
Only if the sale is between family members

The correct answer is: No, background checks are required

In Delaware, private firearm sales do require background checks. This law is in place to enhance public safety and ensure that firearms do not fall into the hands of individuals who may pose a risk to themselves or others. Under Delaware law, all sales of firearms, including those between private individuals, are subject to these requirements. While there may be discussions around exemptions, such as sales between family members or the type of firearms involved, the overarching principle is that a background check is mandated for private sales to help prevent potential misuse of firearms. This requirement is part of a broader effort to maintain responsible gun ownership and reduce gun violence.
