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

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. No

  3. Only in specific areas

  4. Yes, but only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In Alaska, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. The state follows a constitutional carry law, also known as permitless carry, which allows individuals to carry a concealed handgun without a permit. This means that both residents and non-residents who are legally allowed to possess a firearm can carry a concealed handgun in Alaska without the need for a permit. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because Alaska allows for permitless carry, so a permit is not required in any situation or area within the state.
