1) Learn firearms safety from a trained, experienced, certified professional.
2) Learn proper handgun shooting and accuracy techniques from an experienced professional who has taught thousands of students, from novice gun owners to SWAT level operators, how to be better shooters.
3) Get qualified to obtain an Alaska concealed handgun permit that is currently recognized by 37 other states. Reciprocity can change, so always verify the current rules for the state you will be visiting. (New Mexico no longer honors Alaska’s permit.) See the Alaska Department of Public Safety reciprocity information for the current list.
4) If the unthinkable happens and you have to use deadly force, your criminal and civil liability is greatly reduced if you have completed a state certified course from a state certified instructor and followed your training.
5) Even if you don’t get a permit and are only concerned about protection in the home, or you intend to carry only in states that don’t require permits to carry concealed, you should know what the law says about when you can and cannot use deadly force.
6) If you choose to sign up for legal defense services through CCW Safe (the legal services plan we use), you get a big discount if you have a concealed handgun permit.
7) By getting a permit and NICS exemption, you avoid the chances of getting denied or delayed when you purchase a firearm from a dealer in Alaska.
8) You get a $10 discount on any transfers done through PTAK if you have your Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit and NICS exemption.
