What is the age requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alaska?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Alaska, the age requirement to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. This age restriction is in line with federal law, which mandates that individuals must be at least 21 years old to purchase a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer. It is important to note that the age limit for purchasing a handgun is higher than that for purchasing a long gun, which is set at 18 years old.
