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

  1. Yes, for all sales

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In New Hampshire, background checks are not required for private gun sales. This means that individuals can sell firearms to each other without having to go through a licensed dealer and undergo a background check. While private sales may seem convenient for gun owners, they can also pose a risk of firearm transfers to prohibited individuals without proper background checks. Options A, C, and D are all incorrect answers because they state that some form of background check is required for private gun sales in New Hampshire, which is not the case.
