See if this helps........

They have all the states listed, what the laws are, and to what extent they honor out of state permits.

My Pennsylvania CCW is honored by...Alaska? Ironic, since I can't legally take it there

As for the body armor:
a) I've worn it once, when I had to drive 60 miles in the ice and snow on back roads one day in the winter. I wore it so if I crashed, the seatbelt wouldn't break my ribs (which happened in a previous accident)
b) How often do you hear about body armor saving a CIVILIAN'S (NOTE: Not Law Enforcement Officer, not Soldier) life?

Why couldn't you legally take it there?
Are you a fellon?

Only way to Alaska is through Canada - my handgun falls on their 'forbidden to transport through the country' list

The ONLY way?

1. Boat
2. Airplane
3. Spaceship
etc etc etc

You could ship it to a dealer up there and pick it up after you cross the border, or just follow the standard airlines procedures for transporting a handgun on a flight (unloaded in an approved, locked case, checked as baggage).

You don't HAVE to drive there...

Got pulled over one night with a buddy because of a broken tail light on my boat trailer. He asked me to step out of the car and at that point i told him that i had a pistol under my seat. He said to step out and he was going to put the pistol in his car. He did so and helped me fix my tail light and didnt give me a ticket. He also said he like my gun lol. I dont think he ran my CCW permit but thats texas.

Really? They must've changed in...30 yrs. Pop transported a 1911, 30.06 and a .38 when we moved down from AK.

I guess 30 yrs is a bit long to expect things to stay the same. Ignore me!

Its been covered, but yes there are plenty of legal ways to get your carry weapon to Alaska. Its listed because (no matter if you can get it there or not), Alaska reciprocates with all concealed carry states (I believe). If I'm wrong please let me know. They even list Hawaii, and NO private citizen here has a concealed carry permit.

As for the body armor question, if you are a civilian and live somewhere dangerous enough that you need to consider wearing it for protection, you need to move.

From what I read there is an "OK" list, a "must declare" list, and a "forbidden" list. My .38 has a 2" barrel - its on the forbidden list.

I got pulled over for speeding by a Va State Trooper a couple of years ago. I was returning from PA to northern VA.
I neglected to mention that I had a CCW permit, as I was'nt carrying (had to pass through the republic of maryland on the way home).
When he came back to have me sign the "payin paper", he asked "Sir , are you armed today?" I said "No sir,I would have told you if I was".
He said "You should carry it everywhere you go, sign here please".
Point is, Hand over the Dl and CCW at the same time, and let them know if your carrying so they don't have to wonder about it.
The good thing about a CCW is that even if you don't carry, most Cops consider it a " Good Guy Card".
