In Nebraska, is a background check required for private gun sales?

Yes
No, but recommended
No
Yes, but only for handguns

The correct answer is: No

In Nebraska, a background check is not required for private gun sales. This means that individuals who are selling or transferring firearms to another private individual do not need to conduct a formal background check as part of that transaction. This regulation reflects the state’s approach to private sales, which differs from federally licensed dealer sales, where background checks are mandatory. While it is generally good practice to take safety precautions, including background checks, for any firearm transaction, Nebraska law does not impose such a requirement for private sales, making this the correct understanding of the state’s regulations.
