Does New Hampshire participate in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for all firearms purchases from licensed dealers?

Yes
No
Yes, but exemptions exist for concealed carry permit holders
Yes, but only for handguns

The correct answer is: Yes

New Hampshire does participate in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for all firearms purchases from licensed dealers. This means that a background check is required for all firearms purchases from licensed dealers in the state. Option B and D are incorrect as they state that New Hampshire does not participate in the NICS at all or for only certain types of firearms, which is not true. Option C is also incorrect as it implies that only certain people, such as concealed carry permit holders, are exempt from the background check, but in reality, there are no exemptions in New Hampshire and a background check is required for all firearms purchases from licensed dealers.
