Are private firearm sales between individuals in Nebraska required to undergo a background check?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, never

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for handguns

In Nebraska, private firearm sales between individuals are required to undergo a background check, but only for handguns. This means that when individuals are purchasing or transferring a handgun from one person to another in a private sale, a background check is necessary to ensure that the recipient is legally allowed to possess a handgun. This regulation helps to promote responsible gun ownership and reduce the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands. Options A and D are incorrect because private firearm sales between individuals in Nebraska are not always required to undergo a background check or limited to gun show transactions only. Option B is also incorrect as Nebraska does require background checks for private handgun sales, as mentioned earlier.
