What is required to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in New Hampshire?

  1. A state-issued permit

  2. Proof of New Hampshire residency

  3. Completion of a firearms safety course

  4. A federally mandated background check

The correct answer is: A federally mandated background check

Purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in New Hampshire requires a federally mandated background check. Options A, B, and C may be required in other states, but in New Hampshire, only a background check is necessary. It is important to note that even though a permit, proof of residency, and firearms safety course completion may not be mandatory, it is still important for gun owners to possess these things for their own safety and the safety of others. Additionally, there may be further requirements or restrictions at the local level. It is always important to research and follow all laws and regulations when purchasing firearms.
