Idaho Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Are background checks required for private gun sales in Idaho?

1. Yes, for all firearms

2. No

3. Yes, but only for handguns

4. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: No

Background checks are required for private gun sales in Idaho. Private sales, including those made at gun shows or online, are exempt from undergoing a background check in Idaho. However, licensed dealers are still required to conduct background checks for all sales. Option A is incorrect because it states that background checks are required for all firearms, when in fact there are exceptions. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that background checks are only required for handguns, when they are not required at all for private sales. Option D is incorrect because it states that background checks are required for rifles and shotguns, but fails to mention that they are not required for private sales. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
