What is required for a Kansas resident to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer?

A background check
A hunting license
Proof of Kansas residency only
A safety course completion certificate

The correct answer is: A background check

In Kansas, when a resident intends to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer, the key requirement is to undergo a background check. This procedure is put in place to ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms—due to factors like felony convictions, mental health issues, or restraining orders—are not able to make such purchases. The background check serves as a protective measure to maintain firearm safety and to uphold the law regarding who may legally possess firearms. While proof of residency, a hunting license, or a safety course completion certificate may be beneficial for various reasons, they do not fulfill the specific legal requirement of a background check when acquiring a handgun from a licensed dealer in Kansas.
