Somebody needs to send these poor cops some guns.

No this is not England, it is Alaska.

It’s part of the United States of America, shouldn’t they have guns issued the same as any other state. I thought Alaska was rich. Wrong again.

You would think that in Alaska, especially in small villages, that guns would be common.

Thank G-d for those of us armed citizens the Democrats want to disarm.

It's outrageous that anyone charged with Law Enforcement and protecting the public has to go to work unarmed because of budget, or any other, "considerations" for that matter, be it in a small village or a big city!

Perhaps it's because I spent a good portion of my life in the Protection Industry (the Security business, in layman's terms), which stresses such things as disaster preparedness and essentially preparedness for any and all contingencies, but I am a firm believer in being equipped and trained as much for the unlikely as for the probable.

This village P.D.'s leadership needs to reexamine their bean counting priorities in a hurry, after they've received a good, solid kick in the ass.

Even Barnie Fife had a gun......not loaded of course. However, Andy rarely carried. Probably similar to small town Alaska.

Barnie’s revolver looks like a S&W Mod. 629, 5” .44 magnum. That would do the job!

Back in my 1970s Coast Guard days, in the course of Alaska patrols we visited a few small, and I mean small towns in the Aleutians, and I recall cops, even in one or two places where the PDs numbered something like a chief and two officers, being armed.

In one such town, consisting of a bar, a police station/jail, a sporting goods/general store and little else, all three cops went home every night -- if you needed one, you called him at home and he responded -- wearing a sidearm.

This village must be really, really budget challenged.

Good info. Not just money or budget. My guess there is someone in the background that is horrified of armed people and projects this BS onto the LLEA folks.

Well, we know they're not related to Sarah Palin.
