Alaska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alaska?

1. 18 years

2. 19 years

3. 21 years

4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Alaska, an individual must be at least 21 years old to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer. Option A of 18 years is the minimum age to purchase a rifle or shotgun, but not a handgun. Option B of 19 years is also incorrect as the minimum age for purchasing a handgun is still 21 years. Option D of 25 years is not the minimum age, but it is the age at which individuals may obtain a concealed carry permit.
