In Alaska one does not need a Concealed Carry Permit to carry a concealed weapon. However, Alaska still issues CCPs for reciprocity purposes.

I'm sorry!
I'll tell you what...you go up against this guy that is 50 feet away and closing with your concealed 9MM and I'll take my chances with my open carried 44 MAG and lets see which of us clear leather in time.

Yep. Ever try to stop a 900 pound brown bear charging you at 30 mph? You certainly are not going to accomplish that with a pop gun.

Since you clearly have no clue, I will let you in on a secret: USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB!

I live in Anchorage and spend a lot of time in the Mat Su. It is not uncommon to see people open carry in many places of business.

Actually anywhere in Alaska it is not uncommon.

The tool I have now can stop even the biggest of bears lol but seriously, I see a huge difference carrying outdoors vs indoors. I always have a gun with me when I'm outdoors.

I only open carry indoors as a consequence of being outdoors. In other words, if I have a hunting, fishing, hiking, or other outdoor activity planned for the day, I always bring my firearms. If I then happen to eat breakfast at a restaurant or do a little shopping prior to going, or having some dinner out after I return, I leave the Mossberg in the vehicle and wear the .44 Mag openly in the establishment.

If I am not planning an outdoor event, I do not bother carrying.

Generally a bad guy does not carry a firearm in the open. They are really cowards, they do not want to let anyone know that they have something bad planned, and if they have been in jail before and they are found in possession of a firearm they will be arrested.
