What must individuals do before legally selling a firearm privately in West Virginia?

Nothing
Verify the buyer's age
Conduct a background check
Register the sale with the state

The correct answer is: Nothing

In West Virginia, individuals are not legally required to take any specific actions such as conducting background checks, registering sales, or verifying the buyer's age before selling a firearm privately. The state laws governing private firearm sales allow individuals to sell firearms to other private citizens without needing to meet these requirements. This stands in contrast to more regulated states where such measures are necessary. Therefore, the answer that reflects the legal standing in West Virginia regarding private firearm sales is indeed that individuals must do nothing before proceeding with a private sale.
