In Louisiana, who is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases?

  1. The FBI

  2. State Police

  3. Local Sheriffs

  4. The ATF

The correct answer is: State Police

Some incorrect options are A, C and D. Option A, the FBI, is incorrect because they are responsible for conducting background checks only for federally licensed firearms dealers, not private purchases. Option C, local sheriffs, are also incorrect because while they are responsible for conducting background checks for concealed handgun permits, they are not responsible for private firearm purchases. Option D, the ATF, is incorrect because they oversee federal firearm laws and regulations, but they do not conduct background checks for private firearm purchases in Louisiana.
