What type of firearm purchase requires a permit in Nebraska?

Rifles only
Shotguns only
Handguns only
All of the above

The correct answer is: Handguns only

In Nebraska, a permit is required specifically for the purchase of handguns. This requirement is part of a broader set of regulations aimed at ensuring responsible firearm ownership and to enhance public safety. Individuals must apply for a purchase permit from their local law enforcement agency before acquiring a handgun. On the other hand, the purchase of rifles and shotguns does not require a permit in Nebraska. This distinction reflects the state's regulatory framework, which focuses more stringent controls on handguns given their association with higher rates of violent crime compared to other types of firearms. Thus, while handguns necessitate a permit for purchase, rifles and shotguns are generally less regulated in this context.
