Indians For Guns

Here’s a funny item that appeared in the Haines police blotter on Wednesday. For those who don’t know, Haines is a small town in Southeast Alaska that is located on the Haines Highway about 40 miles form the U.S./Canada border. It’s only fitting that the call came on the day the first cruise ship of the season docked in Haines.

A tourist advised there were bears running loose near the Chilkoot River Bridge.
Caller: Hi, I am visiting from (out of state) and we drove out towards Chilkoot and when we went over the bridge … I just wanted to report that there were some bears there … running around loose.
Dispatch: Welcome to Haines.
Caller: Oh, is that normal?
Dispatch: That’s where they live … Now, if they are threatening anybody or if you don’t feel safe, please feel free to call back. Otherwise, just enjoy the wildlife.
