Reasons I love this state
So, walking into Sears Mall the other day, using the same entrance I have used probably a dozen times by now, I finally noticed the Hours and Rules sign. You know, "No skateboarding, etc.". Well, as the pics below show, this sign has some very encouraging wording.
Note, "No concealed weapons..." Alaska is, naturally, home to what is referred to as the "Alaska Carry". After passing the now mandatory federal background check, there is no other licensing, registration or inspection necessary to own or carry (open or concealed) the firearm of your choosing. We do offer a concealed carry license, but it's only required for states that offer reciprocal carry rights. Open carry here is common, but not as much as you would think.
In related news this weekend is the Wasilla High School Booster Club's annual Gun Show. At the High School of course! I can just see some of the "zero tolerance" school principals going into a tizzy if they knew of it.
