What is required to sell a firearm between private parties in the District of Columbia?

No requirement
Verbal agreement
Through a licensed firearm dealer
Notification to D.C. police

The correct answer is: Through a licensed firearm dealer

In the District of Columbia, when selling a firearm between private parties, it is required to do so through a licensed firearm dealer. This step is essential to ensure that the transfer of the firearm is conducted legally and that all necessary background checks and paperwork are properly completed. By involving a licensed firearm dealer in the transaction, both parties can have peace of mind that the sale is done in accordance with D.C. gun laws. Options A and B are incorrect as there is a requirement in D.C. for private party firearm sales to involve a licensed firearm dealer. Option D is incorrect because while it is important to ensure that all firearms are legally transferred, simply notifying the D.C. police is not sufficient; the sale must be conducted through a licensed firearm dealer.
