Is it required to obtain a permit to purchase a firearm in Alaska?

Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only for handguns
No, for any firearm
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: No, for any firearm

In Alaska, it is not required to obtain a permit to purchase any type of firearm. This makes option C the correct answer. Alaska follows a "constitutional carry" or "permitless carry" policy, meaning that individuals who are legally allowed to own firearms can purchase a gun without needing a permit. This policy applies to all types of firearms, including handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required for certain types of firearms in Alaska, which is not the case under the state's firearms laws.
