Incredible how much the laws in alaska take moose in consideration O.O''.

What's an "attractive nuisance"?

The one with Nome makes sense, since in older days that was the only weapon they had. You wouldn't want someone walking with a machine gun through, say, I don't know, whatever is a major city where you live.
