How long is the waiting period to purchase a firearm in Alaska?

  1. 24 hours

  2. 3 days

  3. 7 days

  4. There is no waiting period

The correct answer is: There is no waiting period

In Alaska, there is no mandatory waiting period to purchase a firearm. This means that once all requirements are met and the background check is completed, a person can legally obtain a firearm immediately. This lack of a waiting period distinguishes Alaska from some other states that have specific waiting periods in place before a firearm purchase can be completed.
