Is a permit required to carry a concealed handgun in Alaska?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only in certain cities

  4. Yes, but only for residents of the state

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. Alaska is known for its laws supporting the right to carry concealed weapons for self-defense without the need for a permit. This is often referred to as "Constitutional Carry," where individuals who are legally allowed to possess a firearm can carry it concealed without a permit. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required either always, only in certain cities, or only for residents of the state, which is not the case in Alaska.
