Who is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases in New Hampshire?

New Hampshire State Police
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Local Police Department
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

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

The correct answer is the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In New Hampshire, the FBI conducts background checks for firearm purchases through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This system allows for a quick review of the potential buyer's criminal history, mental health records, and other disqualifying factors to ensure that the individual is legally allowed to purchase a firearm. The other options, such as the New Hampshire State Police, Local Police Department, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), do not have the primary responsibility for conducting background checks for firearm purchases in New Hampshire.
