Alaska is one of the few states that allows concealed carry, without a permit.
In fact you don’t really need a permit in Alaska. Most people that have one, use it for other states that honor Alaska’s permits. Most of Alaska firearm regulations are easy going compared to most states.
There is a law in Alaska that allows people under the age of 18 to own a firearm. However, this goes against federal law, which says that citizens must at least 18 or older to possess a firearm.
