Alaska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

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

1. Yes, for all individuals

2. No, Alaska is a constitutional carry state

3. Yes, but only for non-residents

4. Yes, but only in specific cities

The correct answer is: No, Alaska is a constitutional carry state

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed firearm as it is a constitutional carry state. This means that individuals who are legally allowed to possess a firearm can carry it concealed without the need for a permit. In constitutional carry states like Alaska, residents have the right to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense without having to obtain a permit from the state. This is why option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required in some form, which is not the case in Alaska due to its constitutional carry status.
