Could also be talking about most Northern Alaskan villages. Same age's to buy guns, but the youngsters here can possess them.


I get what you are saying but the gun laws are way more strict in places like Norway than in Alaska. Not saying it doesn't happen but you would get your ass in a ringer if you got caught as an unaccompanied minor with a firearm. Also the location that the troll is referencing; it is only required by law to be armed when leaving the settlement but there is nobody living outside the settlement coming or going from school...
