Are Binary Triggers Legal in Alaska?

Alaska's weapons offense is codified at section 11.61.200, the provision identified in ATF's current Alaska compendium for prohibited-weapon possession. It does not create a separately named binary-trigger or multiburst-trigger category, so device analysis starts with the provision's automatic-fire terms and the binary system's pull-and-release sequence.

Binary triggers are legal under federal law and are not machine guns under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b); ATF treats the trigger pull and the trigger release as two separate functions of the trigger, so one round is fired per function. Cargill v. Garland (2024) concerned bump stocks, not binary triggers, and does not change this.

Scope: Binary triggers (Franklin Armory BFSIII and similar): fire one round on trigger pull and one on release. Forced reset triggers are a separate class.
