What type of background check is required for a handgun purchase from a licensed dealer in Kansas?

No background check is required
A federal NICS background check
A state-level background check only
A background check through the Kansas Department of Motor Vehicles

The correct answer is: A federal NICS background check

In Kansas, licensed dealers are required to conduct a federal NICS background check for all handgun purchases. This check includes a review of an individual's criminal history, mental health records, and other relevant information to determine their eligibility to purchase a firearm. Option A is incorrect because although Kansas does not require a state-level background check, a federal NICS check is still necessary. Option C may seem like a plausible answer, but the background check is not limited to just the state level. Option D is also incorrect as the Kansas Department of Motor Vehicles is not responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchases.
