Does Alaska require a permit to purchase a handgun?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for residents

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In the United States, gun laws can vary by state and it can be confusing to keep track of what is and isn't allowed. Alaska is one of the few states that does not require a permit to purchase a handgun. This means that both residents and non-residents can purchase a handgun without needing a permit. Option A is incorrect because Alaska does not require a permit. Option C and D are also incorrect because both residents and non-residents do not need a permit.
