Are background checks required for private gun sales in New Hampshire?

Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only for handguns
No
Only if the seller is a licensed dealer

The correct answer is: No

Option B is incorrect because background checks are not only required for handguns, but also for all firearms (i.e. rifles, shotguns, etc.) Option D is incorrect because private sellers, who are not licensed dealers, are not required to conduct background checks in New Hampshire. Therefore, the only correct answer is C - no, background checks are not required for private gun sales in New Hampshire.
