In Oklahoma, applicants for a handgun license are required to undergo a background check before being approved. This background check includes a review of criminal records, mental health records, and other factors that may disqualify an individual from obtaining a handgun license. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they all state that a background check is not always required in Oklahoma for obtaining a handgun license. While option B specifies that a background check is not required for renewals, this does not apply to first-time applicants. Option C incorrectly states that background checks are only required for non-residents, when in fact, they are required for all applicants regardless of residency. And option D is incorrect as it states that Oklahoma does not require background checks at all, which is not true for handgun license applications. Overall, it is important to note that while option A is correct, the extent of the background check process and requirements may vary depending on certain factors such as criminal history and mental health record.
