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

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in cities with a population over 100,000

  4. Only for residents

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun for both residents and non-residents. Alaska is a constitutional carry state, which means that individuals who are legally allowed to possess a firearm are allowed to carry a concealed handgun without a permit. This distinguishes Alaska from many other states where a permit is typically required to carry a concealed weapon. Option B is the correct answer because Alaska allows for constitutional carry, eliminating the need for a permit to carry a concealed handgun in the state.
