I know that many enjoy different parts of Alaska. However, I just want to drop that Fairbanks has more gunshops and gun buying opportunities than any other town of 30,000 people in the nation. I know that Anchorage has the Roosevelt Room, Great Northern Guns, Barney's Sports Chalet, and Mt. View Sports. However, we have Iron and Wood, Doug's Gunsmithing, Alaska Guns and Ammo, Frontier Outfitters, Big Rays, Fairbanks Fast Cash, JJs Pawn, Gold Rush Pawn and Morgan's House of Guns. I know that there are lots of small shops out in North Pole as well. I am just feeling pretty fortunate that we in Fairbanks have some pretty good options for getting gun stuff.

From a guy that works in downtown Anchorage, Fairbanks looks better all the time.

Fairbanks has always been a boom or bust town. It has had a few great gun shops over the years. When Karl was alive DownUnder was a fun shop.
Glad to hear it is booming again .

So you compared a town of 30,000 to anchorage and then you didn’t even list half of the places in anchorage to buy guns? Ok.... cool story bro

I didn't list all of the shops in FAI either. Only the ones that I frequent.

And with a subject line like that I was sure this post was going to reference the Howling Dog Saloon...

Fairbanks is kinda an ugly lil town in many ways
But she does have her charms
1 of those that we still have teachers that hunt, fish & believe individual effort is the main predictor of success for individuals
TK is one of the most interesting individuals you could hope to meet.
Glad my sons had a teacher like him.
Oh and there’s a few places to buy shooting irons, there’s that too
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Glad to hear it is booming again . There’s a name and a store I have not heard in a long time!

Glad to hear it is booming again . DownUnder was a great shop, but Karl's second, bigger shop down the street had a BS corner right up front where you could sit and have a cup of coffee as you told your lies. Before that was Langley's on Cushman st. Dude was always fun to pester. Good family run shop. Chuck and Peacock built me a couple of rifles and worked on many more. Was just in Iron and Wood and these guys have a nice place with decent prices. All they need is a couple of chairs and a coffee pot.

It can have gun store on every corner of town but it will still be Fairbanks, Alaska. It's what a pile of siht looks like when it's been frozen for a hundred years.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
