Nebraska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is a background check required for all firearm sales in Nebraska, including private transactions?

1. Yes, for all firearm sales

2. No, only for sales through licensed dealers

3. Yes, but only for handgun sales

4. No, background checks are not required at all

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for handgun sales

While the state of Nebraska does not have universal background checks for all firearm sales, private sales of handguns do require a background check. Option A is incorrect because it implies that all firearm sales, including private transactions, require a background check, which is not the case in Nebraska. Option B is incorrect because it states that background checks are only required for sales through licensed dealers, which is an incomplete understanding of the law. Option D is incorrect because it states that background checks are not required at all, which is also an incomplete and inaccurate understanding of the law. Option C is the most accurate and complete answer.
