I'm a Java/Web Application Developer, doing mostly AF/military contracts. Looks like there's AF bases all over the gulf area... Intriguing...
Dbl0Kevin,
Thanks for quoting the law. I hadn't read it before in its entirety. This may be a means to challenge it
Some of my associates work directly with biometric security devices, specifically fingerprint sensors. There is no such thing as 100% reliability. Even a single false negative out of 100 could cost you your life. We will have to see if 1% or 10% failure rate is acceptable by the AG and the courts. You could draw your weapon in half a second but take 5 seconds of repeated readings to try to unlock the gun.
I'd only accept such a law if it required the police to use them too. Because you know, that law won't be around long then.

Wild, I'm a jack of all trades, but without certifications of any type. I'll be getting all sorts of certs over the next three years or so.
I've always wondered what it takes to go into gunsmithing. Care to clue me in?

We get our share of the oil wealth every year ($1000 +)..
In Anchorage, 3-5 bedroom houses on nice lots for $300,000
Condos running $90-200K...

When Wild says no taxes he means it . There is no state tax , and Anchorage has no sales tax . Here we have a 6% sales tax , and the free AR every year is kind of nice . There is a lot of jobs over in Anchorage , not so much here on island but there is always work . I don't know what Anchorage has as aminimum wage , but here it runs about $7.50/hr no matter what you are doing .

You might be right about being first, but I think that I read somewhere that Florida was???? If it was, it happened before I moved here in '97. 1997 that is, not 1897

I have to agree that when it comes to gun laws and the overall political view of firearms, Massachusetts stands out as one of the worst. They create a list of what can and can't be bought and actively go after internet ammunition sellers for shipping ammo to this state.

AK sounds better than VT now. A job shouldn't be too hard to get, I suppose, unlike most of VT (from all my looking, I found VERY little in the way of work). How much land could one expect to get with a 2 bedroom house? 3 acres? Less? More?
4 years may seem far off, but I believe in doing a LOT of research beforehand.

you'll be even more welcome to alaska if you bring up some single female siblings (or moms, aunts, cousins, whatever) for those of us city savages that are still single.
Keep in mind you are paid more up here because eveything costs more up here . You will probably go into sticker shock like I did the first time you walk in to a grocery store . $5 for a gal of milk? $5 for a box of cereal?
The prices up here are insane , but they pay just enough to not realise how bad you are getting gouged because of the shipping costs .

Kodiak, I live in MA. I already know of the price gouging, for it happens here (not quite as bad) too. I pay $3 for a gallon of milk, and I don't eat cereal because it's too much.
You get the point, though.

Alabama State Constitution
Article I, Section 26
Right to bear arms.
That every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.
I got stopped at a traffic "safety" checkpoint a few weeks back. Had a loaded AR15 in a guncase and a .357 in a shoulder holster, all in plain sight in the cab of my camo painted 85 Dodge pickup. Didn't have my hunting or driver's license or any ID at all. Left them in my pocket when I changed into my hunting clothes. I stopped, turned off engine (I knocked the muffler off along with the right side rear view mirror, the inside rear view mirror has been broken off for years), deputy walked up, "How you doing?" I said "Fine until now". "What's the matter?" I told him. He said" Nice guns. Going hunting?" "Yup. Coyotes in the valley." He said" Good luck". "Thanks" I said and drove on.

We may actually be more gun-friendly than Texas here. CCW is shall-issue with no training-requirement or qualification and costs $41-47. The weapon is not REQUIRED to be concealed, though a passing cop might ask you to cover it up.
Your CCW is good for five years and qualifies as a NICS-check for buying. There is no waiting period or limit on the number of guns you can buy at once.
What's even better is the general attitude of LEOs towards civilian carry here. I've actually been asked, "You've got a permit, right?" without having to show it. I work late hours, so traffic-stops and roadblocks are the norm for me, and as long as I inform the officer right away, I never get so much as a raised eyebrow. In fact, some are quite talkative. I've only once had a rookie ask to hold on to my gun while he ran my license, but he gave it right back afterward. Even nicer is the fact that 4th-amendement rights are taken VERY SERIOUSLY, and they cannot detain you just because you're printing.
The general consensus of law enforcement here is that civilian gun ownership and carry reduces crime, so don't fix what isn't (sorry, ain't) broke. Some officers and city-council types in downtown Atlanta are a bit on the Liberal side, but they don't have enough influence to do much but whine.
Georgia also has home-invasion provisions to allow a pretty loose definition of self-protection, and the courts are very sympathetic to self-defense shootings.

like Eric F said Ga. is pretty good on guns. They put an interstate around Atlanta so you can avoid it, which is a good idea for many reasons. The only problem I have found with Ga. concerning guns is when i take them outside from my 63 degree house to the 100 deg weather the 100% humidity makes my guns dripping wet. I wish they would lower the humidity here but congress cant get enough votes to override a veto.
How sympathetic are the courts in the Dallas, TX area to self defense shootings? I haven't really seen much in the news about it lately but I know a lot of newsworthy things don't make the news sometimes. I'm pretty sure home self defense shootings are handled well but just curious. Frisco and Allen are certainly growing like crazy, hopefully not too many sheeple liberals moving in will screw up this great State.
"They put an interstate around Atlanta so you can avoid it ", I think Sherman did the right thing when he burned that town down. Someone needs to catch the wind right and do it again. I lived there for about a year. I never want to go back. Ref Alabama laws, a concealed permit costs $10.00 per year, is good state wide, consists of a local police phone check. Takes ten minutes. No waitng period, no training course, ect. To buy as many handguns as you have the money for takes only a phone call to the Feds, ten minutes, walk out with them.

Alabama is very gun friendly. $10 per year CCW permit..usually no waiting. A decent number of recipricating (sp?) states. It is actually kind of surprising to find someone that actually doesn't own at least 1 firearm...and that is usually because they sold what they had because they were short on money. Economy here is not that great. But gun friendly for sure.

You think it's bad here, try Florida! I lived a few years in Jacksonville. Euwww...
At least, in the northern part of the state, it's usually not too humid.

O:K is it true there are more men in Alaska than women. If so maybe someday I will wonder up that way. Are the mosquitoes as bad as they say? And surely everyone is not as liberal as you. Do you know any good conservative men?? Somewhere between the age of 35-55y/o. I always think of that old song "North to Alaska". Now I want a Manly man. Do ya'll need any southern physician women up that way by chance that like firearms?

VA isn't too bad. Open carry (especially inside bars and alcohol-serving restaurants), shall-issue concealed carry, full auto is OK, and a gun-friendly culture (outside of Northern Virginia). Plus, a rabid pro-gun group, Virginia Citizen's Defense League (VCDL) fighting for our rights to carry.
Just stay tha heck outta Northern Virginia (aka Occupied Territory). Soccer mom blissninnies, cost of living that makes San Francisco look cheap.
