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.

"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?

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?

Need some Primary research for my Anthropology class

Survey – Gun Control(Yes Or No)

1.Will laws dictating the mandatory use of trigger locks significantly reduce accidental deaths?
2.Laws prevailing the possession and carrying (keeping & bearing) of firearms are effective at preventing criminal acts.
3.Laws regulating the manner in which firearms are kept in your home (locked, disassembled, etc.) will effectively prevent accidental gun deaths.
4.Do you fear the possession of guns by the civilian?
5.Is gun ownership a symbol of independence, self-reliance, freedom, and responsibility?
6.Do law abiding citizens who carry concealed weapons endanger the public?
7.If all guns were to magically disappear tomorrow, there would be no more criminal violence?
8.The majority of criminal violence is the availability of guns.
9.Instead of offering protection, a gun in the home puts families at an even greater risk.
10.Should civilian ownership of guns be forbidden?
11.Does advance training with firearms reduce accidental deaths?
12.Should high-powered rifles be available to anyone with a firearms license?

Registering handguns before selling (in Michigan).?

admin — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 06:32:57 +0000

I have two handguns I’d like to sell (on consignment/to a licensed FFL dealer) but I’ve only recently looked at the laws in Michigan and I’m not sure what to do, or if I may have broken any laws.

Handgun #1
I used to live in Texas and received a handgun as a gift there. At least at the time, there was no requirement to register handguns. I moved to Michigan (Wayne county) several years ago and brought it with me. It’s just been sitting around and rusting but I could really use the cash now so I looked into selling. I was told by friends here when I moved that I didn’t need to, but NOW that I’m looking over Michigan law, I find that handgun registration is the law here! So I’m pretty sure that I need to register this weapon whether I sell it or not but I’m worried that there may be some fines (or worse) for having waited so long to do it. I can’t provide a bill of sale or a previous registration card for above reasons.

Handgun #2
I inherited from my Mom’s recently deceased fiancé. He had no written will but his other step-son (only other heir) told me he hated guns and that I should have it. I would like to sell this weapon too but am unsure if I need to re-register it first since I’m not the original owner it was registered to. I can’t provide a written Will or original registration (haven’t found it yet) but can provide a death cert. and I’m sure the step-son would vouch for me if necessary, if that helps at all.

I really want to do this the right way but am unsure how to do it. And I’m also a little concerned about getting a felony or something just for (stupidly) not filling out a form on handgun #1 years ago, so I’m reluctant to ask local law enforcement first. Thanks for your help.
