Who Can’t Buy Guns in Soldotna
You can’t sell guns to prohibited people in the Gun Control Act list and the list at Alaska Stat. § 11.61.200. Convicted felons and fugitives from justice are included. Knowingly selling guns to these people can incur penalties by law.
Guns You Can’t Sell in Soldotna
You can sell most guns in Soldotna, including antique guns and handguns. However, some guns are regulated by the National Firearms Act or NFA, like these:
- Short-barreled rifles
- Short-barreled shotguns
- Fully automatic guns
- Suppressors (with or without a gun)
You can’t sell these in Soldotna without registration and without following a specific procedure. Because it can be complicated, we recommend selling them only to qualified FFLs.
