Is a background check required for every firearm sale in New Hampshire?

  1. Yes, for all sales

  2. No, only through licensed dealers

  3. Yes, including private sales

  4. No, none are required

The correct answer is: No, only through licensed dealers

In New Hampshire, a background check is required for all firearm sales conducted through licensed dealers. This is in accordance with federal law, which mandates that anyone purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer must undergo a background check. Private sales, on the other hand, generally do not require a background check in New Hampshire. Option B is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the requirement for background checks in the state.
