Important to keep in mind that this legislation was not created in the state. It's part of a national effort promulgated by a rather secretive lobbying group, ALEC, who creates legislation in consultation with corporate client interests and distributes it to state legislators, who push it through in spite of what constituents may say. This is not legislation in the interests of representing the people of the state of Alaska. Furthermore, the new site of pro-gun legislation has become college campuses this year, and it is widespread. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/03/30/push-concealed-guns-campuses-gaining-steam
Not only does it promote the use of guns while deterring systematic study of gun safety, but it reminds all who work in higher education that they are losing opportunities at shared self-governance, which has been a tradition for many decades. http://source.colostate.edu/a-century-of-shared-governance/
And if you read the fiscal note, you know this will cost money.
