No. However, if you cannot pass a background check, it is illegal for you to possess a gun or ammunition for a gun.
No!
Federal law requires a background check when buying a gun from a dealer. This applies to ALL states. Please note that if you cannot pass a background check, it is illegal to possess a firearm- in any state. Penalty begins at 5 years in a Federal prison- no probation, no parole.
Depends on where you are. In MOST of the US, there is no requirement to have a permit to buy a gun. You must be an adult and pass a background check.
NICS takes a couple of minutes.
Money, background check, appropriate age for what is being bought.
If you buy a gun at a gun shop or from any other licenced dealer, yes, you are required to pass a background check unless you are also a licensed dealer. This holds true in every state. However, in TN, a background check is not required on a person to person non-dealer sale, but you must have reasonble belief that the buyer can legally own the gun.
There is no loop hole. It's a fabricated phrase. Any person who is a licensed gun dealer must follow all the laws and fill out all the proper paperwork when selling guns, and they must do that even when they are selling at a gun show. IN MOST STATES, you can buy a gun directly from an individual without any paperwork, but you can do that whether you're at a gun show or your neighbor's house. When people use the phrase "gun show loophole" they are saying you can go to a gunshow and buy a gun without the background check, but that is only true (and legal) if you buy from an individual, which requires no background check, which again, is legal at a gun show or anywhere else.
Yes sir. Buying all firearms nowadays requires this check to ensure we buyers aren't criminals - as if they all go to Wal-Mart and get theirs. But seriously, yes. There's a little more to the answer. If you buy a gun from a licensed dealer, you must complete a background check anywhere in the U.S. However, if you buy a gun from a individual, you are not required to complete a background check, IN MOST STATES, BUT NOT ALL.
Be the right age and have the money to buy the gun, pass a background check, and be responsible!!!!!! --- There are no background checks required to purchase guns from individuals in the majority of states. And if one has a concealed-carry license they can avoid the federal NICS background check when purchasing a firearm from FFL dealers.
Yes, with the exception of some people that have a type of gun license where they have already had a background check.Yes. With the exception of people that have already had a background check, all dealers are required by Federal law to conduct a background check.
