Are background checks required for private gun sales in Wyoming?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. Yes, but only for handguns

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In Wyoming, background checks are not required for private gun sales. This means that individuals can sell firearms to each other without going through a background check process. It is important to note that although background checks are not required for private sales in Wyoming, federal law still prohibits certain individuals from purchasing or possessing firearms, such as convicted felons, individuals with domestic violence restraining orders, and those adjudicated as mentally incompetent.
