What is required for the purchase of a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alaska?

  1. Alaska state ID

  2. Background check

  3. Proof of Alaska residency

  4. A handgun safety course completion certificate

The correct answer is: Background check

In order to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Alaska, a background check is required to ensure the buyer is legally eligible to possess a firearm. While an Alaska state ID and proof of residency may be necessary for other types of purchases, they are not specifically required for the purchase of a handgun. Additionally, although completing a handgun safety course may be beneficial and is encouraged, it is not a mandatory requirement for purchasing a handgun in Alaska.
