In New Hampshire, who is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases?

  1. Local Police Department

  2. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

  3. New Hampshire State Police

  4. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

The correct answer is: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

In New Hampshire, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases. This is because the FBI operates the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which is used by federally licensed firearms dealers to conduct background checks on potential buyers. The other options are not responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases in New Hampshire.
