Carrying Firearms In Public In Alaska: The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of American citizens to possess and carry firearms. While federal gun laws exist, the specific regulations regarding gun ownership in the United States are primarily determined by individual state governments. As a result, approaches to gun control vary greatly among the 50 states. Open carry refers to the act of openly wielding a firearm, whether it is partially or fully visible. In Alaska, individuals are permitted to openly carry both long guns and handguns. Concealed carry, on the other hand, involves carrying a firearm in public without it being visibly displayed. Concealed firearms can be carried in backpacks, purses, or holsters hidden under clothing. In Alaska, it is legal to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.
