What type of background check is required for purchasing a firearm in Oklahoma from a licensed dealer?

State background check
Federal background check
No background check is required
Both state and federal background checks

The correct answer is: Federal background check

In Oklahoma, individuals purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer are required to undergo a federal background check. This is in accordance with the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which requires all licensed dealers to conduct a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) inquiry before transferring a firearm to a purchaser. This check includes searching databases for criminal history, mental health records, and other disqualifying factors. Options A and C are incorrect because they suggest that either a state background check or no background check is required, which is not the case. Option D is also incorrect because while some states may require both state and federal background checks for firearm purchases, Oklahoma only requires a federal check. Therefore, the correct answer is B Federal background check.
