What does Arkansas law require for the sale of a firearm between private individuals?

  1. A bill of sale

  2. A background check through a licensed dealer

  3. Registration of the firearm

  4. Nothing; Arkansas does not require any of these

The correct answer is: Nothing; Arkansas does not require any of these

Under Arkansas law, there are no requirements for private individuals to obtain a bill of sale, conduct a background check through a licensed dealer, or register the firearm when selling it to one another. This means that in private transactions, individuals have the freedom to buy and sell firearms without the oversight typically associated with commercial sales. This aligns with the state’s stance on gun ownership and the rights of private citizens to engage in personal transactions without additional regulatory hurdles. The absence of such requirements underscores Arkansas's commitment to gun rights and the principle of personal responsibility in firearm ownership. As a result, private sales can occur with minimal legal formalities, reflecting the state's laws regarding firearm transactions among individual citizens.
