These 9 Weird Laws in Alaska Will Leave You Scratching Your Head in Wonder

You might assume you know what is illegal in Alaska; however, that might not be the case. All around the country, there are strange laws that seem to have slipped under the radar and gone unnoticed for quite some time, and Alaska is no exception. Just about every city and state has a few entertaining laws that are still in effect to this day. Here are some of the weird Alaska laws that can technically still get you thrown in jail!

1. It is illegal to whisper in someone's ear while they are moose hunting.

You can be sure that living in Alaska is never boring! If you want to spend some time outside (not moose hunting, but you may spot a moose on your adventure!), check out Campbell Creek Estuary near Anchorage.

2. Yawn and stretch! While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear to take a photograph is prohibited (not to mention, beary rude).

If you want to view bears, you should head on out to Brooks Camp, a beautiful campground nestled within the Katmai National Park and Preserve.

3. It is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose. So, just don't do it!

This is definitely among the silliest laws in Alaska. But it got us thinking ... who was feeding the moose alcohol to begin with?! Well, turns out, Alaskans are a strange bunch. Not so sure? Take a look at weird things people from Alaska do.

4. This one is kind of obvious, but just so you know, it's illegal to sell stun guns to children.

Also, a child isn’t allowed to build a snowman taller than himself at school! Another weird law in Alaska most don't know about.

5. Who doesn't love a good toot on a vuvuzela? Well, guess what, if you're in Fairbanks, Alaska, don't even think about it!

It’s illegal to blow a horn in a manner that disrupts the peace. We can't say that we disagree with this one.

6. It’s illegal to fatten up a sheep, cow, or pig within city limits.

You can’t fatten up animals within city limits, but you can interact with them … at this Alaska zoo.

7. Lock up those children! It’s a crime to speak so loudly that you offend a sensitive person enough to make him/her leave in Fairbanks.

Strange Alaska laws and Fairbanks seem to go hand-in-hand—and that’s not too surprising. Fairbanks is one of the most unique towns in Alaska, after all.

8. A person may only carry a concealed slingshot if that person has received the appropriate license.

And in Nome, Alaska, you can’t carry a slingshot at all. That's not the only unusual thing about Nome, though. It's also among the most mysterious places in Alaska.

9. For the final and perhaps strangest of these wacky laws, it is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.

There’s an unusual story behind this, and it all started with a Moose Dropping Festival out in Talkeetna! And while pushing moose out of planes is frowned upon, it’s totally acceptable to admire them from afar.
