What must be done with firearms during a private sale between individuals in West Virginia?

Nothing is required by law
Register the firearm with the state
Conduct a background check through a licensed dealer
Report the sale to local law enforcement

The correct answer is: Nothing is required by law

In West Virginia, during a private sale between individuals, there are no state laws requiring any specific actions to be taken regarding the transfer of firearms. This means there is no requirement to register the firearm, conduct a background check, or report the sale to law enforcement. This reflects the state's approach to private transactions where individuals can buy and sell firearms without government mandated procedures, promoting personal responsibility and individual rights. However, it's important to note that while state law may not impose requirements, individuals are still encouraged to follow safe practices and may choose to conduct voluntary background checks or other safety measures.
