  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

The correct answer is: No

It is important for individuals engaging in private gun sales to exercise caution and ensure they are following all other state and federal laws regarding firearms transactions. Option A is incorrect because background checks are not required for all firearms in private sales in Alaska. Option C and D are incorrect because background checks are not limited to specific types of firearms in Alaska; they are not required for any type of firearm in private sales.
