What is required to legally purchase a handgun in Louisiana from a licensed dealer?

  1. Proof of Louisiana residency

  2. A valid driver's license

  3. Passing a background check

  4. Membership in a gun club

The correct answer is: Passing a background check

To legally purchase a handgun in Louisiana from a licensed dealer, passing a background check is required. This is a common requirement to ensure that the individual purchasing the firearm does not have a criminal record or any other disqualifying factors. Additionally, having proof of Louisiana residency and a valid driver's license may be necessary for identification purposes, but the crucial step in the process is passing the background check to comply with state and federal regulations. Membership in a gun club is not a legal requirement for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in Louisiana.
