What type of background check system does Wyoming use for firearm purchases from licensed dealers?

  1. State-based system

  2. NICS

  3. Wyoming does not require background checks

  4. A combination of state and NICS

The correct answer is: NICS

Wyoming uses the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for firearm purchases from licensed dealers. Option A is incorrect because it is essentially the same as option D, which mentions both state and NICS. Option C is incorrect because while Wyoming does not require background checks for private sales, it does require them for purchases from licensed dealers. Option D is also incorrect because it is not an accurate or specific answer.
