What type of background check system does Idaho use for firearms transfers?

State-based system
FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System
No background checks are required
Idaho does not perform background checks

The correct answer is: FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System

Many states utilize their own state-based background check system for firearm transfers, but Idaho has opted to use the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This is a federal system that conducts background checks for firearm purchases from licensed dealers by accessing databases from multiple states and federal agencies. Option A is incorrect because although some states do use state-based systems, Idaho has chosen to use the federal system. Option C is incorrect because background checks are required for firearm purchases in Idaho. Option D is incorrect because while some states have exceptions to required background checks for private sales, this is not the case in Idaho.
