Return to “Alaska State Trooper”
What is the plural of Moose?RoyGBiv wrote:It's a good show... especially for the nature...
ASP does enforcement on rivers and in some very remote villages.. Interesting to watch...
Watched the fake-moose-hunting-from-the-road episode this past weekend...
Seems you can shoot from the grasssy areas off the shoulder, but not on the tarmac or gravel.
Them mooses are HUGE.
Of all the times I have been stopped for an infraction or at a "DL/Insurance Check" road block, the last infraction was in 1997 and the last RB was in 2006, I have never been asked if I had a weapon in my vehicle. The only times it has been mentioned is the three times I presented my CHL due to an accident or a RB and those were "where is it?" and went no further.fulano wrote:I agree.

Not to take away from LEOs in other states, but those boys in Alaska are pretty hairy chested men with a lot of courage who seem to perform very well under what most would consider to be very adverse conditions. ...tougher than what a lot of LEOs in the lower 48 face.
Again, not to take away from anybody... that's just my observation.
What I've noticed in the show is the frequency at which the Troopers find handguns in possession of nearly everyone they stop. I think the western states are in some ways in a sort of time warp....what I mean is that when I was a teen/youngster there was always some type of gun in the car/pickup. I got my share of tickets as a kid and was never asked "do you have a gun in the car?". Probably because the LEO's of the day knew there was at least a shotgun and it was part of the culture so they never expected anything of it. Times have changed.
