How long does the background check process take when purchasing a firearm in Louisiana?

  1. Instantly

  2. Within 3 business days

  3. Up to 10 business days

  4. No background check required

The correct answer is: Within 3 business days

The background check process when purchasing a firearm in Louisiana typically takes approximately 3 business days. Option A, "instantly", is incorrect as there is a waiting period after submitting the necessary paperwork. Option C, "up to 10 business days", is also incorrect as it is typically not necessary for the full 10 days to be used before the background check is completed. Option D, "no background check required", is incorrect as background checks are required for all firearms purchases in Louisiana.
