[Picture] John Hagen  Kmart sales associate Frank Ryan 
rearranges handguns in a display case at a Kmart in 
Fairbanks, Alaska.

Handgun sales in Alaska are so profitable that while corporate 
headquarters of three major chains have either banned the sales 
of handguns or ammunition for them on a national basis
, they've given their Alaska stores carte blanche 
to sell to faithful customers. Kmart is the latest 
chain to announce it will phase out handgun ammunition sales 
in its stores nationwide. But sales will continue as 
usual  at the Fairbanks store.
