What is required to legally sell a firearm between private individuals in Alaska?

A background check conducted by a licensed dealer
Registration of the firearm transfer
The buyer must possess a handgun permit
No specific legal requirements, but records are recommended

The correct answer is: No specific legal requirements, but records are recommended

In Alaska, to legally sell a firearm between private individuals, no specific legal requirements are mandated by law. However, it is highly recommended to keep records of the transaction for both the seller's and buyer's protection. This includes recording details such as the make, model, and serial number of the firearm involved in the sale. While option A, a background check conducted by a licensed dealer, may be required in some states for all firearm sales, this is not a requirement for private sales in Alaska. Option B, registration of the firearm transfer, is also not mandatory in Alaska for private sales. Additionally, option C, stating that the buyer must possess a handgun permit, is not a requirement for private firearm sales in Alaska.
