Does Delaware participate in the Federal Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for firearm purchasers?

  1. No, Delaware has its own system

  2. Yes, exclusively uses NICS

  3. Yes, but also has additional state checks

  4. Delaware uses a mix of federal and neighboring state systems

The correct answer is: Yes, but also has additional state checks

Delaware does participate in the Federal Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for firearm purchasers, but it also has additional state checks. This means that Delaware conducts both federal and state background checks for firearm purchases, making the process more thorough and comprehensive. Option A is incorrect because Delaware does not have its own system exclusively for firearm purchasers. Option B is not true because Delaware does not exclusively use NICS; it also conducts state checks. Option D is incorrect because it mentions neighboring state systems, which is not specified in the question or answer choices.
