Great Northern Guns used to be the icon but I don't know with new management. Screaming Eagle for archery stuff. Barney's Sports Chalet for cool stuff(inspector gadgets and all). Northern Knives for knives. There used to be more small Mom and Pop shops but now you have several box stores. There is Gun Runners, Alaska Ammo and Boondocks in Eagle River. There are probably others but those are the ones off the top of my head. I know that Anchorage is three times as big as Fairbanks and North Pole but we seem to have many more gun shops than they do if you count pawn shops.

Great Northern Guns used to be the icon but I don't know with new management.. "NOT" new "management", Totally new owner. Jeff is the only employee who carried over to the new owner business. It is "Packed" with firearms. It was purchased by Doc Green's son who started "Gun Runners".
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

While not "Currently" one of my favorite gun stores, I figure to take several firearms to "Wild West Guns" for selling exclusively on Gunbroker.com
They are firearms that will bring two to three much selling outside of Alaska

Spend a lot of money in Boondocks back in the day. They used to only take checks or cash, haven’t been in five or ten years since I moved Outside.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
