Which of the following firearms transactions requires the buyer to possess a valid FOID card?

Private sales
Purchases from a licensed dealer
Both A and B
Neither A nor B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Both A and B require the buyer to possess a valid FOID card. Private sales, also known as person-to-person sales, refer to transactions where the buyer purchases a firearm from an individual who is not a licensed dealer. In this case, the buyer is still required to have a FOID card in order to legally purchase the firearm. Similarly, purchases from a licensed dealer also require the buyer to have a FOID card as part of the background check process. Option D is incorrect because both A and B require a FOID card, making the correct answer C.
