What is the legal age to possess a handgun in Alaska?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old with parental consent

  4. There is no age restriction

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Alaska, the legal age to possess a handgun is 21 years old. This requirement is in line with federal law regarding the minimum age for handgun purchase and possession. Individuals under the age of 21 are generally not permitted to possess handguns, as they are considered a regulated firearm requiring a higher age threshold compared to long guns. It's important to adhere to these age restrictions to ensure safe and responsible handgun ownership.
