Overview
This bill aims to change Alaska’s laws regarding firearms by removing silencers – devices designed to reduce the noise of a firearm – from the list of prohibited weapons. Currently, possessing a silencer is a crime in Alaska. This legislation seeks to clarify that simply possessing a silencer will no longer be considered a violation of the law, as long as the firearm itself is legal.
