Alaskans: If you're carrying for bear protection, must the gun be visible, or can you have it under your coat?

They say that the most important thing to do if you are carrying a handgun for protection against grizzly bears is to file the front sight down. That way it doesn't hurt so much when the bear shoves it up your ass.

Alaska carry law states that any citizen who has the RIGHT to, may carry concealed OR open a firearm, without permit. It goes on to say that no Borough(counties) may impose a law stricter than that set forth by the state govt. The only places that a weapon CANT be carried are state and federal office buildings, and Govt schools. Banks used to be off limits, but that law was repealed a few years ago, so you can carry, concealed or open in a bank in AK.

That was written before S&W introduced the Model 500 revolver chambered for the .500 S&W round.
