How can an individual legally acquire a firearm in DC?

  1. Through a private sale without a background check

  2. By inheriting a firearm from a family member

  3. Purchasing from a licensed dealer after passing a background check

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Purchasing from a licensed dealer after passing a background check

In DC, individuals can legally acquire a firearm by purchasing it from a licensed dealer after passing a background check. This process ensures that the individual is eligible to possess a firearm under the law and helps prevent firearms from getting into the wrong hands. Options A and B are incorrect because in DC, private sales must go through a licensed dealer to conduct a background check, and inheriting a firearm still requires the new owner to register the firearm properly with the Metropolitan Police Department Firearms Registration Section. Therefore, the correct answer is purchasing from a licensed dealer after passing a background check.
