Are individuals required to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm at a gun show in Alaska?

Yes, always
No, not required
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only from licensed dealers

The correct answer is: Yes, but only from licensed dealers

In Alaska, individuals are required to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer, regardless of whether the sale occurs at a gun show or in a gun store. This requirement helps ensure that firearms are not sold to individuals who are prohibited by law from owning them, such as convicted felons or individuals with a history of domestic violence. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Options A and B are not entirely accurate as background checks are required for purchases from licensed dealers. Option C is also incorrect as background checks are not limited to handguns only but apply to all firearms sold by licensed dealers.
