What is the term for transferring ownership of a firearm to another individual without conducting a background check in Idaho?

Legal transfer
Private sale
Unauthorized transfer
Black market sale

The correct answer is: Private sale

The correct term for transferring ownership of a firearm to another individual without conducting a background check in Idaho is "private sale." In Idaho, private sales between individuals who are not federal firearms licensees are generally not subject to background check requirements. This means that if you sell a firearm to someone you know, and neither of you are licensed dealers, you can complete the transaction without undergoing a background check. This context is important because other terms like "unauthorized transfer" and "black market sale" imply illegal activities or sales where regulations are being deliberately ignored, which does not accurately describe a legal private sale between individuals following state laws. "Legal transfer" typically refers to the broader concept of transferring firearms while still adhering to all necessary laws and checks, which may include background checks depending on the specifics of the transfer.
