Is a permit required to carry a concealed handgun in Alaska?

  1. Yes, for residents only

  2. Yes, for both residents and non-residents

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only in urban areas

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. Alaska is known as a "Constitutional Carry" state, which means that individuals who are legally allowed to possess firearms can carry a concealed handgun without the need for a permit. This approach aligns with Alaska's strong support for gun rights and emphasizes individual responsibility when it comes to firearms. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required for either residents only or both residents and non-residents, which is not the case in Alaska. Option D is also inaccurate as it implies that a permit is only necessary in urban areas, which is not a requirement under Alaska state law.
