Are private firearms sellers required to conduct a background check on the buyer in New Hampshire?

In New Hampshire, private firearms sellers are not required to conduct a background check on the buyer. This is because the state does not have a specific law mandating universal background checks for private sales. While federal law requires licensed firearms dealers to perform background checks on buyers, this requirement does not extend to private sellers in New Hampshire. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Option A is incorrect because private firearms sellers in New Hampshire are not required to conduct background checks on buyers.

Option C is incorrect because there is no specific distinction for handguns in New Hampshire regarding background check requirements for private sales.

Option D is incorrect because despite some states requiring background checks at gun shows, New Hampshire does not have this specific requirement for private sellers at gun shows.
