4. In Alaska, more people have airplanes than have cars.

Most places in Alaska, you cannot get to without using an aircraft. It is state law that if you fly out of sight of a city, you must have a firearm on board. That is for survival, killing something to eat as well as killing something that is trying to kill you.

Both Alaska brown (Kodiak) bears and polar bears will eat people. Also, there are both wolves and wolverines that will eat you. Wolverines are one of the most vicious animals out there. Bears will come into your house looking for food. They will rip doors off or push in windows to enter. You do not have to have a gun, but most everyone has one just in case.

So yes, in Alaska, guns are almost a requirement to live.
