What percentage of Alaskans carry firearms on them when they venture into the woods-wilderness or just to do a little jogging?
Even when I go deep into my back property of 8 acres I carry a fully loaded 10mm Glock, and I live 11 miles north of Wasilla. Black bears are very common in my neighborhood, and wolves. Deep snows draw them down from the hills, moose especially so.
Its an Alaska thing, cannot adequately describe living with so much big animals that can kill you, especially the moose.
All of the smart Alaskans. Unfortunately the liberal population has increased and with it there's a correlating decrease in common sense and awareness.
