My kind of state gun laws!!!

“In that tension between the legitimate right to protect yourself, and, for me, the more absolute right to do as you see fit with your property, this tips the balance a little too far toward guns,”

Are my gun's not my property?

Alaska’s new law forbids municipalities from passing gun laws that are more restrictive than state law.

Well done.

BTTT.

[RightWinger]

I like it!

"the lifting of bans on guns in public buildings. That could leave government workers inside vulnerable to attack, said Anchorage Police Chief Walter Monegan."

Not now that the Government workers can be routinely armed as well.

The part of the law that most concerns Alaska police chiefs is the lifting of bans on guns in public buildings. That could leave government workers inside vulnerable to attack, said Anchorage Police Chief Walter Monegan.

Uh.... without them they would be vulnerable to attack because the government employees couldn't defend themselves against a criminal who brought a weapon in! Strange thinking for a police chief...

It has been my contention for some time that
municipal buildings, courts, city halls etc that
prohibit concealed carry holders from their right,
MUST provide gun check facilities, or they are FORCING
citizens to be disarmed between their cars/vehicles and
the said building.

“If there were people with bad intentions entering into municipal buildings, the law isn’t going to stop those people anyway,” Dudley said. “They’re going to stick a pistol down their pants anyway.”

Now there's LEO with some good old common sense. I just wish all LE and government officials had as much.

Anyone who thinks a law against carrying guns will stop somebody from carrying a gun who intends to commit a far more serious crime with that gun has to have the IQ of a garden slug.

Well, it's a start. Now how about we start forbidding municipalities, states, and congress from passing gun laws that are more restrictive than the United States Constitution allows?

What part of "Shall Not Be Infringed" is so damn difficult for some people to understand?

That could leave government workers inside vulnerable to attack, said Anchorage Police Chief Walter Monegan.

If some one wants to come in and murder these workers they wouldn't worry about breaking a simple handgun ban law.

At least now instead of hiding under a desk and praying while waiting in terror to be found and executed at his leisure, these workers can arm themselves,train and shoot the bastard back.

Congrats Alaska.

  You could leave Homer with a gun in your vehicle

Yeah, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Please come to California and get it passed here! Please!

Starting Wednesday, a new anti-gun-control law in Alaska will allow handgun owners to carry concealed weapons without a permit in the seven Alaska cities where permits are now required.

WoooHooo!! Way to go Alaska!!! So many more states to go... : ) <<< me

It's amazing that people just can't seem to grasp the simple logical concept in a statement like this.

Does this Chief really think that a maniac who wants to shoot up a county office or a courtroom cares about breaking that law against guns in the courthouse?

Gun laws aren't intended for criminals, criminals by definition don't obey laws. Gun laws are intended to keep law abiding people from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.
