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

Proof of Louisiana residency
A state-issued handgun permit
Completion of a firearms safety course
There are no specific requirements

The correct answer is: Proof of Louisiana residency

To purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Louisiana, one must provide proof of Louisiana residency. This requirement is in line with federal and state regulations to ensure that individuals buying firearms are legal residents of the state and meet the necessary criteria. Option B, a state-issued handgun permit, is not a prerequisite for purchasing a handgun in Louisiana. Similarly, while completing a firearms safety course is highly recommended for responsible gun ownership, it is not a mandatory requirement for purchasing a handgun in the state. Option D stating that there are no specific requirements is inaccurate because the provided proof of Louisiana residency is a specific requirement for buying a handgun from a licensed dealer in Louisiana.
