Which of the following requires a background check in Kansas?

  1. Private sales between individuals

  2. Gun shows

  3. Purchases from a licensed firearm dealer

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Purchases from a licensed firearm dealer

In Kansas, federal law mandates that background checks are required only for purchases made through licensed firearm dealers. This is designed to ensure that individuals who buy firearms from dealers are subjected to necessary screenings, helping to prevent firearms from being sold to people who are prohibited from owning them, such as felons or individuals with restraining orders against them. Private sales between individuals do not require background checks under Kansas law, which allows for people to sell firearms without involving a dealer or undergoing a screening process. Similarly, while gun shows may seem like they involve dealers, the same rules apply: if the seller is not a licensed firearm dealer, a background check is not mandatory for private sales occurring at such events. Thus, the requirement for background checks applies specifically to purchases made from licensed firearm dealers, making this the correct answer in this context.
