Who is required to undergo a background check before purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in West Virginia?

Only residents of West Virginia
Only non-residents of West Virginia
Everyone
No one

The correct answer is: Everyone

In West Virginia, everyone is required to undergo a background check before purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer. This requirement applies to both residents and non-residents of West Virginia. The state has implemented this rule in order to ensure the safety of its citizens and prevent individuals with a history of violence or criminal records from obtaining firearms. So, even if you are a resident of West Virginia, you will still be required to undergo a background check before purchasing a firearm. Similarly, non-residents who wish to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer in West Virginia must also undergo a background check. As for the options A, B, and D, they are incorrect because they suggest that only certain individuals are required to undergo a background check, which is not the case in West Virginia. It is also important to note that there are certain exemptions to the background check requirement in West Virginia, such as for law enforcement officers and active duty military members. However, these exemptions are very specific and do not change the fact that in general, everyone must undergo a background check before purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in West Virginia.
