Does New Hampshire require a background check for private gun sales?

Yes, for all firearms
No
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: No

New Hampshire does not require a background check for private gun sales. However, this does not mean that background checks are not conducted at all. Private sellers can still choose to request a background check on the buyer before selling a firearm, but it is not required by state law. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they state that New Hampshire does require a background check, which is not true. It is important to note that federal law still requires licensed firearms dealers to conduct background checks on all gun sales nationwide.
