Are background checks required for private gun sales in West Virginia?

  1. Yes, for all sales

  2. No, none are required

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No, none are required

In West Virginia, background checks are not required for private gun sales. This means that individuals can legally buy or sell firearms between each other without the need for a background check. This exemption applies to all firearms, not just specific types such as handguns, and is not limited to gun shows. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
