If this happens, I'm off to Alaska as quick as possible as well! A lot of cool toys over there - and sure as hell beats the hell out of taking my chances here in liberal utopia of New York!
... yes, any trouble in the US would have to go right through Canada before it could ever reach Alaska. Of course.
So I'm thinking .. that 'buffer' effect might give a bit of a breathing space. Any bets as to how long ?
