What must individuals do to legally purchase a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer in Oklahoma?

  1. Present a valid handgun license

  2. Undergo a federal background check

  3. Complete a state-run firearms training course

  4. Provide proof of Oklahoma residency

The correct answer is: Undergo a federal background check

Individuals must undergo a federal background check in order to legally purchase a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer in Oklahoma. This is to ensure that the individual is not prohibited by federal or state law from owning a firearm. Option A is incorrect because while a valid handgun license may be required in some states, it is not a prerequisite in Oklahoma. Option C is incorrect because while some states may require a firearms training course in order to purchase a handgun, Oklahoma does not have this requirement. Option D is incorrect because while proof of residency may be required for certain firearms transactions, it is not specifically required in Oklahoma for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer.
