In Alaska, background checks are not required for private gun sales, making option B the correct answer. Unlike some other states, Alaska does not have specific laws mandating background checks for private sales between individuals. It is important for individuals in Alaska to be aware of this when engaging in private firearm transactions to ensure they are in compliance with state law. Option A is incorrect because background checks are not required for all sales in Alaska. Option C is incorrect because background checks are not only required for handgun sales. Option D is incorrect because background checks are not only required at gun shows in Alaska.
