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

  1. Federal only

  2. State only

  3. Both federal and state

  4. No background check is required

The correct answer is: Both federal and state

In Oklahoma, both federal and state background checks are required for a handgun license application. This is because the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) conducts the background check at the federal level, while the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety conducts the background check at the state level. Therefore, it is important for applicants to undergo both checks to ensure they meet the requirements for a handgun license. Options A and B are incorrect because they each only refer to one level of background check. Option D is also incorrect as background checks are necessary for the safety and security of all applicants and the community.
