i may not live in Alaska,but i do live in northern Minnesota i always carry at least my 357 MAG.,we have plenty black bears up here ,but most of the time my 44 Mag. or a shotgun. i feel bad he got mauled but if i was living in Alaska you can bet i would live and breath with my hand gun in town and in the woods as i do here in Minnesota. i bet he carries a hand gun from now on?
