2018 AK Governor's race: on Gun Control


Mike Chenault: Backs new law that allows concealed weapons across state

A new anti-gun-control law in Alaska will allow handgun owners to carry concealed weapons without a permit--even in the 7 cities where permits are now required. Chenault said a law-abiding citizen should be able to carry a firearm wherever he wants to, but in Alaska, that citizen may be breaking the law and not even know it. "You could leave home with a gun in your vehicle and find yourself in conflict with laws in other municipalities just by driving through those municipalities," he said.
