Can non-residents purchase firearms in Alaska?

  1. Yes, both handguns and rifles

  2. Yes, but only rifles and shotguns

  3. No, non-residents cannot purchase firearms

  4. Yes, but they need a special permit

The correct answer is: Yes, but only rifles and shotguns

Non-residents can purchase rifles and shotguns in Alaska but not handguns. This is due to federal laws governing the sale of firearms to out-of-state residents. Handgun purchases by non-residents must be conducted through a federally licensed firearms dealer in the individual's home state. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
