Requires universal background checks for all sales or transfers of firearms

HB 357 requires background checks for all private firearm transfers between individuals (not licensed dealers), affecting private sellers and buyers. It mandates that non-dealer sellers arrange a background check through a licensed dealer or law enforcement before transferring a firearm, with approval valid for 30 days. Key exemptions include family gifts (spouses, parents, siblings, etc.), antique firearms, temporary transfers at shooting ranges or hunting, and transfers by law enforcement. The bill does not apply to licensed dealers (who already follow federal checks) or specific scenarios like estate transfers or firearm repairs.
