Which type of background check is required for a private party firearm sale in Idaho?

Federal background check
No background check is required
State background check
Both federal and state background checks

The correct answer is: No background check is required

In Idaho, private party firearm sales do not require a background check. This means that if you are buying or selling a firearm between individuals without going through a licensed dealer, neither party is obligated to conduct a background check. This law reflects a specific aspect of Idaho's approach to firearms transactions, which emphasizes personal privacy and the rights of individuals in private sales. While other states may have stricter regulations regarding background checks for private sales, Idaho remains lenient in this regard. The absence of a requirement for background checks in private sales can lead to discussions about safety and responsibility, highlighting the importance of ensuring that all firearms transactions are conducted safely and ethically, even in private scenarios.
