...so maybe I have a little bit of credibility here

Alaska is a different culture - you have to go there to understand. They are very independent and use guns all the time (we're not talking Anchorage). People carry them through town.

Guns in Alaska ARE relevant, likely more so than anywhere else. They are part of life. People hunt, protect themselves against bear, moose, etc...

The fact is that guns are everywhere there and it is important for Alaskan's to teach kids how to use a gun so they are safe. Some people will never understand that if they have never been exposed to them.
