We've got unlicensed concealed carry up here, not a lot of sunlight in the winter, and a raging drinking problem. Hell, ignoring the fact that every idiot Alaskan is packing, every motorist is operating a deadly weapon. Like someone else here said, I don't want to be

How many times must you let it go? Every time that your anger will make no positive difference to the situation. So, pretty much every time.
