What does Nebraska law require for a private sale of a handgun?

  1. A background check conducted by a licensed dealer

  2. A bill of sale only

  3. Registration with the local police department

  4. No specific requirements

The correct answer is: A background check conducted by a licensed dealer

In Nebraska, it is required by law to conduct a background check when privately selling a handgun. This is to ensure that the buyer is legally allowed to possess a firearm. Option B, a bill of sale, may be helpful for both the buyer and seller to have as a record of the transaction, but it is not a legal requirement. Option C, registration with the local police department, is not necessary for private sales, as it is only required for dealer sales. Option D is incorrect because, as stated previously, a background check is required.
