Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Alaska?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for non-residents

  4. Only for residents

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. This distinguishes Alaska from some other states where individuals must obtain a permit or license before purchasing a handgun. In Alaska, as long as the buyer meets the federal requirements for purchasing a firearm (such as passing a background check), they can legally purchase a handgun without needing a specific permit.
