What must be done to legally transfer a handgun to another individual in Alabama?

Notarize a bill of sale
No special requirements
Perform a background check if through a dealer
Register the handgun with local law enforcement

The correct answer is: Perform a background check if through a dealer

In Alabama, to legally transfer a handgun to another individual, you must perform a background check if the transfer is conducted through a dealer. This requirement is in place to help ensure that the recipient of the handgun is legally allowed to possess a firearm. It is important to follow this procedure to comply with state laws and promote responsible gun ownership practices. The other options are not correct because notarizing a bill of sale may not be sufficient to meet the legal requirements for transferring a handgun, there are special requirements in Alabama when transferring firearms through a dealer, and there is no handgun registration requirement with local law enforcement in Alabama.
