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

  1. Yes, for all gun sales

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. 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.
