Is a permit required to purchase a firearm in Alaska?

  1. Yes, for handguns only

  2. No

  3. Yes, for all firearms

  4. Yes, but only for residents

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to purchase a firearm. Alaska has fairly unrestricted gun laws compared to other states in the U.S. Individuals who are legally eligible to own a firearm may purchase one without the need for a permit. This is why option B, "No," is the correct answer in this case. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that some form of permit is required to purchase a firearm in Alaska, which is not the case.
