Alaska Gun & Ammo Laws: A 2nd Amendment Overview for Alaska Gun Owners
PLEASE NOTE: The laws which impact Alaska gun owners are subject to frequent change at the local, state, and federal level so it's wise to consult an attorney or your local law enforcement agency before making any final firearms-related decisions. Our official policy on shipping ammo to Alaska can be found here, whereas the information below is meant as a reference point only.
"A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The individual right to keep and bear arms shall not be denied or infringed by the State or a political subdivision of the State."
Other provisions relating to the power of the people over government:
"All political power is inherent in the people. All government originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the people as a whole."
"The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government shall never be abridged."
