Alaska is gun friendly.

1. No permit for conceal carry,
2. Open carry common,
3. NFA items; no problem, just meet the federal requirements,
4. Even the grocery stores and Wally Worlds sell guns and ammo,
5. The high schools and university have rifle teams,
6. There many tasty animals to hunt and fish for. (Some will hunt you)

Alaska is definately #1.

Not only because of the laws in this great state, but also because of the general attitude toward firearms of most any type. I dare to say that you will not find a more gun-friendly atmosphere than in Alaska.

Sure, lots of states have great laws... However, most Alaskans actually take advantage of ours...

One of the things I'm not sure I like about Virginia is one of the documents you can turn in for your CCW is a DD-214 saying that you were Honorably discharged. My wife and I took NRA courses for ours, and take a yearly legal course for updating.

Then you might be upset to learn that all I had to do was watch an hour long video (online), take a brief online test, and print off a certificate.
And I haven't shot anyone over a parking space yet

Arizona is right up there with Alaska.

No permit is required for concealed carry, NFA ok, lawful open carry, etc.

Vermont also doesn't require permits for concealed carry.

EDIT: Fixed typo

wally,hopefully with a republican governor now,we can get the parking lot law passed.

MacDonald was Governor last session, which did help but changes are needed in the Senate to get anything like the rights Alaska, Arizona or Vermont have.

As I said, other states also have great laws... However, the general attitude towards firearms in Alaska is much more tolerant than that of ANY other state. And I'll bet my next paycheck on that one.
