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

  1. Yes, always

  2. No

  3. Only in certain cities

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed firearm. Alaska is a "shall issue" state when it comes to concealed carry permits, meaning that as long as you meet the requirements outlined by state law, you can carry a concealed firearm without a permit. This is why the correct answer is B. Option A is incorrect because, as mentioned, Alaska does not always require a permit to carry a concealed firearm. Option C is incorrect as well, as Alaska state law allows for permitless concealed carry throughout the entire state, rather than certain cities. Option D is also incorrect because the lack of permit requirement applies to both residents and non-residents alike in Alaska.
