What is required to legally purchase a firearm in Alaska?

  1. Proof of Alaska residency

  2. State-issued Firearms Safety Certificate

  3. Completion of a firearms training course

  4. No specific requirements other than federal law

The correct answer is: Proof of Alaska residency

To legally purchase a firearm in Alaska, proof of Alaska residency is required. This is because Alaska law mandates that only residents of Alaska can purchase firearms within the state. Non-residents must have firearms shipped to a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL) in their state of residence. Other options such as a state-issued Firearms Safety Certificate or completion of a firearms training course might be required in some states, but in Alaska, proof of residency is the key requirement for purchasing a firearm. Option D, stating that there are no specific requirements other than federal law, is not accurate for Alaska, as state residency is a necessary condition.
