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

Yes, for all gun sales
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, for all gun sales

In Delaware, a background check is indeed required for all gun sales, including private sales. This legislation aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals purchasing firearms do not have a criminal background or other disqualifying factors that would prohibit them from owning a gun. The requirement for background checks extends to all transactions, regardless of whether the sale occurs in a commercial setting or privately between individuals. As a result, this comprehensive approach helps to close potential loopholes that could be exploited in private transfers, promoting responsible firearm ownership and reducing the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands.
