Kim asks: "Does a person need a permit to buy a gun at an auction?"

The Answer Person says: "Yes, a permit is required for all handgun purchases. If someone wants to purchase a long gun and does not possess a permit, then a federal NCIC background check is required in order to complete the transfer. If you're buying a gun at an auction, you need a permit."
