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

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 16 years

  4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Alaska, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years. This age requirement aligns with federal law, specifically the Gun Control Act of 1968, which sets the minimum age for purchasing handguns from licensed firearms dealers at 21 years. It is important to note that individuals under 21 years of age cannot legally purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alaska.
