When is it legally required to perform a background check for a gun sale in Arizona?

Private sales between individuals
When selling a gun at a gun show
Sales through a licensed firearm dealer
Transfers between immediate family members

The correct answer is: Sales through a licensed firearm dealer

The legal requirement to perform a background check for a gun sale in Arizona specifically applies when transactions are conducted through a licensed firearm dealer. This means that any purchase or transfer of firearms at a dealer's establishment necessitates a background check to ensure that the buyer meets the legal qualifications to own a firearm, including aspects related to criminal history or mental health status. In contrast, Arizona law does not mandate background checks for private sales between individuals, transfers at gun shows, or transactions among immediate family members. This creates a notable distinction in the regulatory framework governing firearm transfers in the state, primarily focusing on dealer-related transactions as a measure to enhance safety and responsibility in gun ownership.
