Doesn't Alaska have open carry?

From OpenCarry.org

Alaska is one of our “Gold Star” open carry states. There is complete state preemption for the carrying of firearms concealed or openly. Open carry is fairly common and law enforcement is accustomed to it.
In terms of population, Texas will become the largest state to allow citizens with a CHL to openly carry handguns.

Yes, Alaska has open carry. It is a constitutional carry state, of which we now have seven by my count.

When Texas passes this bill, we will have more constitutional carry states than states that ban open carry.
