Alaska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is a background check required for a firearms transfer between private parties at a gun show in Alaska?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for handguns

4. Only for assault weapons

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a background check is not required for a firearms transfer between private parties at a gun show. This is due to the fact that Alaska law does not mandate background checks for private party transfers of firearms, whether they occur at a gun show or elsewhere. Option A is incorrect because, as mentioned earlier, background checks are not required for private party transfers in Alaska. Option C is incorrect as it specifies that background checks are only required for handguns, which is not the case in this scenario. Option D is also incorrect as there is no specific requirement for background checks only for assault weapons in this context.
