Open Carry Laws for Alaska

It is permissible to open carry within the State of Alaska with the only requirement being notification when there is contact with a police officer that you are carrying.

State law preempts all local laws and local ordinances are not allowed that would limit a person’s right to carry.

Property and business owners can post signage prohibiting guns on their property and if asked to leave you must leave the property.

There are some places or states where open carry is not valid without a permit so when you travel be sure to check the requirements for that state.
