Who is required to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Iowa?

Only Iowa residents
Only non-residents
Both residents and non-residents
No one is required to undergo a background check

The correct answer is: Both residents and non-residents

The requirement for a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Iowa applies to everyone, regardless of residency status. This means that both Iowa residents and non-residents must undergo a background check as part of the purchasing process. This regulation is designed to promote safety and ensure that firearms are not sold to individuals who may pose a risk to themselves or others, such as those with certain criminal records or mental health issues. By making background checks mandatory for all purchasers, Iowa aims to create a consistent standard that enhances public safety in the context of firearm sales.
