Can an individual be charged with a crime for leaving a loaded firearm where a child can access it in Alaska?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if the child uses the firearm

  4. Only if the firearm is used in a crime

The correct answer is: Yes

In Alaska, an individual can indeed be charged with a crime for leaving a loaded firearm where a child can access it. The state has laws regarding the safe storage of firearms to prevent children from gaining access to them, in recognition of the serious risks associated with children having unsupervised access to guns. This is why the correct answer is A. Options C and D are incorrect because in Alaska, the focus is on the accessibility of the firearm to children rather than on whether the child actually uses the firearm or if the firearm is used in a crime. The emphasis is on preventing potential harm by securing firearms appropriately.
