best states for gun owners compiled by Guns and Ammo. "The Cornhusker State requires a certificate to purchase a handgun, even from a private individual other than a close relative." Scores were compiled based on right to carry laws, restrictions on sporting rifles, National Firearms Act rights, the Castle Doctrine and a miscellaneous category.
