Are background checks required for private gun sales in Nebraska?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No, not for any firearms

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for handguns

In Nebraska, background checks are not required for private gun sales, which includes sales between individuals who do not have a federal license to sell firearms. Therefore, the assertion that background checks are only required for handguns is not correct. There are no requirements for background checks on any type of firearm in private sales, whether they are handguns, rifles, or shotguns. It's important to emphasize that the law does require background checks for sales conducted by licensed firearm dealers, but private sales do not have that obligation. This information is crucial for understanding firearms transactions within the state.
