Alaska Statute 18.65.748 states that a person holding a valid permit to carry a concealed handgun from another state or a political subdivision of another state is a permittee under AS 18.65.700 (b) for purposes of AS 18.65.750 - 18.65.765.
Alaska Statute 18.65.775 requires the Department of Public Safety to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states that have the legal authority to enter into such agreements so that Alaska Concealed Handgun permittees may carry concealed handguns in those other states.
Annually, the Department of Public Safety will review legislation in other states to determine if a reciprocity agreement is required or if an existing agreement is still valid. It is important for permit holders to understand that when they are traveling in or through another state they are subject to the firearm laws of that state. You should verify the requirements of the state to which you will be moving/traveling before you carry a concealed handgun in that state.
