Who is responsible for obtaining a background check when a firearm is sold through a licensed dealer in Alabama?

  1. The buyer

  2. The seller

  3. The licensed dealer

  4. The Alabama Department of Public Safety

The correct answer is: The licensed dealer

In Alabama, when a firearm is sold through a licensed dealer, it is the responsibility of the licensed dealer to conduct a background check on the buyer. This requirement ensures that only eligible individuals under the law are able to purchase firearms. The licensed dealer plays a crucial role in facilitating the transaction while also upholding the necessary legal procedures and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. The buyer and the seller are not directly responsible for obtaining the background check in this specific scenario. Additionally, the Alabama Department of Public Safety does not typically handle individual background checks for firearm sales conducted through licensed dealers.
