Congratulations on your new almost legal open carry "law". I believe if you extended recognition of that right to out of state residents, it might actually be law. You don't really believe that the fed gov owns most of Alaska, do you? Under the limited powers granted to the fed gov by the Constitution, they may have some ports, military instalations, and maybe post offices, but that's about all. Any or all of these priveleges may be revoked by the people at their discretion. Yeah, we've got a long way to go here in Cali. Don't mean to whine, but you've got to recognise the problem before you can fix it. Best regards.

The open carry "law" doesn't solve everything, but it was a small though significant victory in the war. A war which I agree we shouldn't have to fight I've come to realize as I grow older patience and persistence are rewarded. We are working to have reciprocal carry agreements with other states at this time. As for Alaska being "owned" by the federal government, after the purchase from Russia we were a territory. When Alaska gained statehood there was a land settlrment between the state and the feds, but much of the land has not been conveyed. Less than 5% of the land in Alaska is privately held. We're all trying to attain a similar goal,just approacning from different directions. Keep the faith....we've got to win this war also. Nice conversing with you. Regards,
