Alaska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

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

1. Yes, for all individuals

2. No

3. Yes, but only for non-residents

4. Yes, for residents only

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. This is because Alaska is a "constitutional carry" state, meaning that individuals who are legally allowed to possess a handgun can carry it in a concealed manner without a permit. Option A is incorrect because it states that all individuals need a permit, which is not the case in Alaska. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that non-residents need a permit, which is not true in a constitutional carry state. Option D is incorrect because it only mentions residents, not specifying if non-residents need a permit. Option B is the only correct answer as it accurately states that a permit is not required for anyone to carry a concealed handgun in Alaska.
