Are background checks required for private gun sales in Alaska?

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: No

No, background checks are not required for private gun sales in Alaska. This is why option B is the correct answer. In Alaska, only federally licensed firearms dealers are required to conduct background checks on individuals purchasing firearms. Private sellers are not obligated to do so, which sets Alaska apart from some other states with stricter gun laws.
