Alaska anti-gun-control law takes effect Wednesday

JUNEAU, Alaska -- Starting Wednesday, a new anti-gun-control law in Alaska will allow handgun owners to carry concealed weapons without a permit -- even in the seven Alaska cities where permits are now required.
Gun owners will be allowed to keep their firearms in their vehicle, even if the car is parked on private property where the owner has a no-gun policy.
And, some police chiefs say, local ordinances that ban guns from public buildings such as city halls will no longer be enforceable. Alaska's new law forbids municipalities from passing gun laws that are more restrictive than state law.
