Doesnt affect me either way...i dont think i'll ever visit...but..

I've read many times that AK does not issue carry permits....but then i find this Dept of Public Safety .

Seems they dont require them...but they do issue them...
Alaskans may obtain a concealed carry permit if they want reciprocity with other states.
Then there's this:

Effective October 1, 2007, the application fee for a new Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit will be reduced to $94.25. This reflects a reduction in the cost of conducting national criminal background checks.
Did our fees go down??? Or did that just not catch up to the East Coast yet?
