If I'm not mistaken, but a Alaskans does not need a permit to carry Concealed, Correct?
I found it:
http://www.touchngo.com/lglcntr/akstats/Statutes/Title18/Chapter65/Section780.htm
The reason I ask is because it specifically states in the Concealed Carry laws that:
http://www.mtssa.org/akcwplaw.htm
Sec. 18.65.750 Possession and display of permit.[font="Times New Roman,Times"][/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"] (a) A
permittee shall carry the permit at all times the permittee carries a[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]concealed handgun. The
permittee shall display both the license and other[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]proper identification when asked to do so by a peace officer at any time.[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"] (b) Whenever a
permittee who is
carrying a concealed handgun is contacted by[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]a peace officer, the permittee shall immediately inform the peace officer that[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]
the permittee is carrying a concealed handgun under the permit.[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"] (c) During a contact
with a permittee, a peace officer may secure a handgun,[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]or direct that it be secured, during the duration of the contact if the peace[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]officer determines that the action is necessary for the safety of any person,[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]including the peace officer, present. The
permittee shall submit to the[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]securing of the handgun.[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"] (d) In this section, "contacted by a peace officer" means stopped, detained,[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]questioned, or addressed in person by the peace officer for an official[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]purpose.[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"] (e) A person who violates (a) of this section is guilty of a violation and[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]upon conviction may be punished by a fine of not more than $100.[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"] (f) A person who violates (b) or (c) of this section is guilty of a class A[/font]
[font="Times New Roman,Times"]misdemeanor.[/font][font="Times New Roman,Times"][/font]
This law here :
http://www.touchngo.com/lglcntr/akstats/Statutes/Title18/Chapter65/Section800.htm
AS 18.65.800. Possession of Firearms in Motor Vehicles.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state, a municipality, or a person may not adopt or enforce a law, ordinance, policy, or rule that prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting an individual from possessing a firearm while that individual is within a motor vehicle or prohibiting an individual from storing a firearm that is locked in the individual's motor vehicle while the motor vehicle is otherwise legally parked in or on state or municipal property or another person's property. This section applies only to possession of a firearm by an individual who may legally possess a firearm under state and federal law.
(b) This section does not limit a person's rights or remedies under any other law.
(c) The state, a municipality, or a person is not liable for any injury or damage resulting from the storage of a firearm in the vehicle of another individual in accordance with this section.
(d) Notwithstanding (a) of this section, an employer or its agent may prohibit the possession of firearms within a secured restricted access area, as defined in AS
29.35.145 (e)(2), in a vehicle owned, leased, or rented by the employer or its agent or in a parking lot owned or controlled by the employer within 300 feet of the secured restricted access area that does not include common areas of ingress and egress open to the general public. The employer or its agent shall post conspicuous notice of the prohibition against possession of firearms at each entrance to the restricted access area and affected parking area.
So unless there is a law that says otherwise. One should let the officer know he or she has a gun in there possession if they have a Concealed Carry Permit.
Apparently if one doesn't have a Concealed Carry Permit then: Sec. 18.65.750 Possession and display of permit.[font="Times New Roman,Times"][/font] doesn't Apply!
Any Competent Lawyer Could argue my point and make it stick!
Further More, If there is a law that says the cops can make a record of the Serial and make of a gun during a stop it should be Shown with the video.That way we mayhave a legitimate reason to try to change it. If there is not and the cops up there are making a record, some one should Raise Hell!
