Maybe so, maybe no! If its concealed, then that's where it should remain unless needed. I tend to think that applies to discussing whether someone does or doesn't. That being said Alaska is one of the few states where a CW permit is not required. But, if you are going to carry, I suggest that you attend a CW course and become proficient with the weapon you intend to carry. Many quickly attain a false sense of bravado by simply carrying a sidearm, and that's pure unadulterated B.S. Nothing makes up for constant practice. Have you ever watched the results of a police shoot out? Look how many shots are fired by trained professionals that never hit their target. In an emergency situation your adrenaline rush will be out of control and you'll be damn lucky to hit what you're shooting at. I do intend to agree with an earlier post referrng to a double tap and to that I would add the failure to stop procedure. If you simply shoot to wound, then chances are you really didn't need to. If your life is indeed in danger and you must use deadly force then shoot to end it, not postpone it. Your first duty is to remove yourself from the situation if at all possible, and that will be one of the first questions you'll be asked when the interviews commence. Lastly, there is a huge responsibility that comes with carrying a CW not the least are the multitude of restrictions regarding where you cannot carry a weapon and that includes if you have a CW permit. I hate to harp on this guys, but I carry a weapon for a living and always abide by the four golden rules. If you don't know them, you shouldn't be carrying a firearm of any kind! Be responsible, be careful.
