(22 posts)Flipping channels Monday night looking for some kind of television show that doesnt insult your intelligence. Okay, we have Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, Mudcats, Moonshiners, Ax Men, Cajun Pawn Stars and finally found the least of the worst: Alaskan State Troopers. Real Alaskan Troopers protecting the citizens of Alaska. Started out pretty mundane: Trooper A breaks up a fight between two drunks over a pint. Trooper B checks out a empty house where teenagers broke in to have a party. Trooper C serves a warrant on a driver with multiple DUIs. But then Trooper D pulls over a pick up truck driving erratically. He approaches the driver and then this happens:
Trooper: Sir you were driving erratically, have you been drinking any alcohol?
Driver: No, my truck has been giving me trouble and Im on the way to have it fixed.
Trooper: So you have any weapons on you?
Driver: Yes, I do. I have a 22 pistol and an AK-47 assault rifle. I am a convicted felon but I have the right to own this weapon.
Said trooper then asked the driver to hand over the guns so he could check them. He takes them back to his squad car and the AK is fully loaded with a round in the chamber. He calls in to see if the driver had a record. Yes, he is a convicted felon, his conviction: assault of a police officer. And what does Trooper do? He gives the assault weapon and the pistol back to the driver and tells him to have a good day and what a nice weapon he has. How is this possible? Is Alaska exempt from any gun laws at all? I thought a felony was just that a felony not a states rights issue.
