What type of background check is required for a handgun license application in Oklahoma?

  1. NICS

  2. State background check only

  3. Both NICS and a state background check

  4. No background check is required

The correct answer is: Both NICS and a state background check

In Oklahoma, both a NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) and a state background check are required for a handgun license application. This ensures that both federal and state restrictions are considered before issuing the license. Option A, NICS, is not the complete answer as it only covers federal restrictions. Option B, a state background check only, is incorrect because it does not consider any federal restrictions. Option D, no background check required, is also incorrect as both a NICS and state background check are mandatory.
