Is a permit required to carry a concealed handgun in Alaska?

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. Yes, but there are exceptions

  3. No, but with few exceptions

  4. No, Alaska does not require a permit

The correct answer is: No, Alaska does not require a permit

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. Unlike many other states which have concealed carry permit systems, Alaska follows a "Constitutional Carry" or "permitless carry" approach. This means that as long as you meet the legal requirements for gun ownership (such as being legally allowed to possess a firearm), you can carry a handgun concealed without the need for a permit. This makes option D the correct answer.
