That is kinda like why I shoot pool better after a few beers. It's true.
I've always been a 3 beer shooter...

I believe this to be correct. I was watching the show alaska state troopers, a Homeowner ends up shooting a guy in his house. He's released but the next day some family of the deceased shows up, the cops show up and the homeowner has a rifle and had been drinking. Guess who goes to jail. The homeowner.
of all the states I would have never imagined that in Alaska.
OTOH, it would be hard to argue for limiting a person's 1st Amendment rights under the influence of alcohol.
There's an easy fix for this problem--when a cop knocks on your door get out of sight and stay that way until the cop goes away

With all due respect to LEOs, not talking to LEOs while intoxicated, much less answering the door, is a good idea in many cases. I don't drink (if for no other reason than the heart meds I take, but also because I don't drink), but even if I did (or didn't), I wouldn't talk guns, or much of anything else with LEOs who come knocking on my door.
What happens on my property (much less my house which is 1000 yards from any public property and 100 yards from my private road), is my business and nobody else's - i.e., what happens here stays here.
Hope you find a place off site to bury the evidence
On Feb 17, 2018, deputies of the Clermont Country Sheriff's Office were dispatched to an address other than [Appellant's ] ... which is located in the Felicity area of Clermont Country, Ohio. The deputies ended up at [Appellant's residence]. Upon arrival ... after speaking with [a woman], deputy Shouse was admitted to the house and [Appellant] came through (an interior) door holding a shotgun by the stock with the barrel of the gun pointing to the ground. [Appellant] told Shouse that "the firearm is not loaded" and that he had been unloading it to wipe it down. [Appellant] admitted to Shouse "I'm drunk". Shouse took control of the firearm, made sure it was not loaded, never saw any ammunition in the shotgun and agreed that is legal to own firearms in the United States of America and Ohio.
So tired of this Nanny State BS mentality that is so pervasive in western society.
i wanna say being intoxicated and in possession of a firearm in alaska is a crime whether it be in your home or not. i could be wrong
If this is how the law works this means all LEO's in the state are then banned from using alcohol, correct?
I have to VERY much hope there is a LOT more too this.
what happens here stays here.
Its always interesting to learn that seemingly pro-gun states are actually more anti-gun in practice than even Ore and Wa. By comparison, in Oregon our carry laws are actually quite... liberal, despite the state being more anti-gun.
Its an odd arraignment.
Alaska gun laws it seems to me are quite libertarian. No license to buy, no permit to carry concealed, open carry is ok, etc. As mentioned by mxwerx, what they are really intense on is alcohol possession or consumption. And apparently, the consumption of alcohol in the presence of firearms.
But then its another law that only affects the responsible. My guess is their alcohol law hasnt had much effect on the issue. IIRC you cant carry into bars there (?), another gun free zone law.
Wake me up when the stupidity ends !!!Wake me up when the shooting starts.
Alaska has some really odd, outdated laws when it comes to alcohol. It stems from heavy substance abuse among the indigenous population (not to mention the whites that settled there) - Alaska is a frigid paradise, but it also can bring on crippling depression and loneliness, and a lot of people self medicate thru booze and drugs. A lot - if not most - Alaskan villages are dry - that is alcohol is banned entirely. Prohibition is still in force in much of Alaska, and a black market for booze up there is big and can bring big, big money.
I've heard a lot of stories in fly shops of guys who take annual vacations to Alaska, and they smuggle gallons of booze with them, which sells for 3-4 or even 5X what it goes for here in the lower 48. A guy could almost pay for a couple days of his stay in booze in some places.
