Background checks

Alaska is a little different about the permit scheme. It is not required to have one to carry a concealed handgun, as we are a "right to carry" state. However, the state will still issue a permit. Two types are available. "NON NICS exempt", which is only good for carrying a handgun, and recognized by several other states as well. The other, "NICS exempt", gives you all the benefits of the NON type, plus covers your background check requirements when buying a firearm within the state.
