Alaska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Alaska?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for non-residents

4. Only for automatic weapons

The correct answer is: No

A permit is not required to purchase a handgun in Alaska because the state does not require a permit for handgun purchases. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that a permit is necessary, which is not the case. Option C is incorrect because both residents and non-residents are not required to obtain a permit for handgun purchases. Option D is incorrect because it mentions automatic weapons, which is unrelated to the permit requirement for handguns.
