Nebraska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Are private firearms sales regulated in Nebraska?

1. Yes, all sales require a background check

2. No, private sales are not regulated

3. Yes, but only for handguns

4. No, but buyers must have a permit

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for handguns

Private firearms sales in Nebraska are not completely unregulated, but they are not as strictly regulated as gun sales made through licensed dealers. While private sales of long guns do not require a background check, private sales of handguns do. Additionally, all buyers must meet Nebraska's firearm permit requirements. Therefore, option C is the most accurate answer as it acknowledges the limited regulation of private firearm sales in Nebraska. Options A and D are incorrect because all private sales do not require a background check and a permit is needed for all buyers, not just handguns. Option B is also incorrect as it implies that there is zero regulation of private firearm sales in Nebraska, which is not true.
