A refreshing change. Mat-Su assembly resolution urges residents to arm themselves - Anchorage Daily News
Whereas residents of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough can provide for the emergency management of the borough, and provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the borough … every eligible resident residing in the borough is encouraged to maintain a firearm, and ammunition thereof,
Matanuska-Susitna, or Mat-Su, is in south-central Alaska, just north of Anchorage. While Anchorage has been losing population, Mat-Su has been growing.
The resolution, which also asks firearm owners to learn about safe weapon use and maintenance, does not define who is an eligible resident. It does not create any enforceable laws.
Bernier, whose district covers Susitna Valley communities including Willow and Trapper Creek, said he sponsored the language as a way to encourage residents to protect themselves.
The resolution passed the Borough board unanimously. (Hat tip to Keep and Bear Arms)
