Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Nebraska?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for residents

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes

The correct response to whether a permit is required to purchase a handgun in Nebraska is that a permit is not required. Nebraska does not mandate a permit for individuals to purchase handguns. Instead, the state requires a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) when buying a firearm from a licensed dealer. This means that while individuals must comply with federal laws regarding background checks, they do not need a specific permit to purchase a handgun in Nebraska. The misunderstanding may arise from other states that do have such requirements, but in Nebraska, that is not the case. Thus, the answer indicating a permit is required is not accurate.
