Can non-residents purchase firearms in Alaska?

Yes, but only long guns
Yes, but only handguns
Yes, any type of firearm
No

The correct answer is: Yes, but only long guns

Non-residents can purchase long guns in Alaska. This is because federal law allows for the purchase of long guns by non-residents in any state, as long as the sale complies with federal and state regulations. However, non-residents are generally prohibited from purchasing handguns in Alaska unless they meet specific state requirements, such as being a member of the military stationed in Alaska or having a valid Alaska hunting license. Therefore, option A is the correct choice as it accurately reflects the law regarding non-residents purchasing firearms in Alaska.
