I'm 18 and would like to purchase a handgun. How do I go about doing this in Alaska?

Ok so if I’m 18 and a friend of mine is 21, can he purchase the pistol from the store, and then sell it to me? I think the law is 21, but I heard something about that only applying to registered dealers or something. I have never been arrested, and my buddy who would purchase the pistol actually works at the sport and goods department in this grocery store and handles the sales of guns. thanks

ok so it says this:

Handguns

* Permit to purchase handgun? No
* Registration of handguns? No
* Licensing of owners of handguns? No
* Permit to carry handguns? No*

* It is unlawful to sell or transfer a firearm capable of being concealed on one’s person to anyone who has been convicted of a felony or adjudicated a delinquent minor for conduct that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult. It is an affirmative defense that 10 years or more has elapsed since the unconditional discharge on the prior offense.

* It is unlawful to knowingly sell or transfer a firearm to a person whose physical or mental condition is substantially impaired as a result of an intoxicating liquor or drug, or to sell a firearm to a person less than 18.
"Jsatt" – this is from the official gun laws in Alaska – " Registration of handguns? No "

so apparently in my state, registration of a hand gun is not required

I’m mainly purchasing it for protection because I got robbed at gun point a couple months ago. Ok so if I’m 18 and a friend of mine is 21, can he purchase the pistol from the store, and then sell it to me?

"david" This is a gift from a friend that is 21. there’s no law keeping him from giving me the gun as a gift. "straw purchase" there’s no way to prove that. hey it’s Christmas and is the time for gift exchanges.

Who out there in Answer-land would like to see stricter gun laws?

I personally feel that keeping guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens will only encourage the scum among us to be more brazen. Remember folks, criminals aren’t going to hand over their weapons just because Congress writes a law saying that we all have to. Doesn’t it make more sense for us to keep our guns so we can protect ourselves from predators?

What is the current gun laws in Washington D.C?

I’m moving there soon, my g/f got a really good job there. We currently live in PA, and I do own firearms. Just curious what exactly is there laws, what you can and can not have? I know awhile ago guns were completely banned of any kind, is that still in effect? If gun laws there are really strict, do you suggest then, just too look for a place across the river in Arlington, VA?
