What kind of background check is required for purchasing a handgun in Nebraska?

  1. No background check is required

  2. A federal NICS check

  3. Only a state-level background check

  4. A background check by the local police department

The correct answer is: A federal NICS check

When purchasing a handgun in Nebraska, a federal NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) check is required. Option A is incorrect because, while Nebraska does not have a state-level background check, a federal background check is still necessary. Option C is incorrect because, as previously mentioned, only federal background checks are required. Option D is incorrect because the local police department does not conduct background checks for firearm purchases, it is done through the FBI database.
