Who can legally buy a firearm in Alaska without a state permit?

  1. Anyone over 21 years of age

  2. Only military personnel

  3. Anyone over 18 years of age without a criminal record

  4. Non-resident aliens

The correct answer is: Anyone over 18 years of age without a criminal record

In Alaska, individuals who are over 18 years of age and do not have a criminal record can legally buy a firearm without a state permit. This is due to Alaska law not requiring a state permit to purchase firearms. It is important to note that while individuals over 18 years of age without a criminal record can buy a firearm in Alaska without a permit, they still need to meet all federal requirements for purchasing a firearm. Option A is not correct because the age requirement in Alaska to purchase a firearm without a state permit is over 18 years of age, not over 21 years of age. Option B is not correct as only military personnel would be a restrictive category, excluding other eligible individuals in Alaska as the law allows. Option D is not correct as non-resident aliens are subject to federal regulations that restrict their ability to purchase firearms in the United States.
