hi can any one tell me what the procedure is in alaska to obtain a fire arms certificate for a 30/06 & shot gun ?

[gogoalie]

What's a firearms certificate?

non citizen.....non resident wants to hunt alaska.

[Amigo Will]

You will need to move here and have green card. With a little paper work you can bring your own gun here. Bear hunters from all over the world do it

We Don't require firearm certificates in the US... like you do in the UK

But, for the right amount of money I'll provide you one........

RFI: do you intend to purchase those firearms in Alaska? Do you intend to purchase those firearms from a Federally licensed Dealer (FFL dealer) or a non licensed individual? Will you have a hunting license? Are you a non immigrant alien? Are you a US citizen? If so, what state do you reside in? Are you at least 18 years old?

While their are many Federal and State and even perhaps local laws that govern firearms purchases, Alaska does not require a firearms certificate as such to purchase a firearm.

This link provides the Federal Government form one must complete when purchasing firearms from a FFL dealer. ATF also has some FAQ's on web site.

Sales by private individuals do not require this form.

Hope that helps?

Thanks!
