What type of background check system does New Hampshire use for firearm purchases from licensed dealers?

NICS
State-run system
No background checks required
Private company background checks

The correct answer is: NICS

New Hampshire uses the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for firearm purchases from licensed dealers. NICS is a nationwide system that allows firearms dealers to instantly determine whether a prospective buyer is eligible to buy firearms or explosives. This system is used to conduct background checks on potential buyers by searching available records in the federal databases. It helps ensure that individuals prohibited by law from purchasing firearms, such as felons, domestic abusers, and individuals with certain mental health issues, are not able to do so. Options B, C, and D are not correct because New Hampshire does not have a state-run background check system for firearm purchases, no background checks are not required for all purchases from licensed dealers, and private company background checks are not used for this purpose in the state.
