What must an individual do to legally sell a handgun to another person in Iowa?

  1. Verify the buyer's permit to carry

  2. Conduct a background check

  3. Ensure the buyer has a permit to purchase

  4. Nothing is legally required

The correct answer is: Ensure the buyer has a permit to purchase

In Iowa, anyone selling a handgun is required to ensure that the buyer has a permit to purchase. This permit is obtained from the county sheriff and is subject to a background check. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect because they do not cover the entire process required to legally sell a handgun in Iowa. Option D is also incorrect as it is illegal to sell a handgun to someone without a permit to purchase in Iowa.
