Is it required to obtain a permit to purchase a firearm in Alaska?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. Yes, but only for handguns

  3. No, for any firearm

  4. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: No, for any firearm

In Alaska, it is not required to obtain a permit to purchase any type of firearm. This makes option C the correct answer. Alaska follows a "constitutional carry" or "permitless carry" policy, meaning that individuals who are legally allowed to own firearms can purchase a gun without needing a permit. This policy applies to all types of firearms, including handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required for certain types of firearms in Alaska, which is not the case under the state's firearms laws.
