No outsiders should be able to petition.  First, be wary of the signature gatherer. I remember being harassed outside of Carrs.  The guy said, would you like to protect salmon and prevent set netting in urban areas?  I immediately start thinking of ship creek.  I asked for more specific details to which he scoffed.  Then I saw the actual map showing the entire cook inlet as being off limits.  I called him out on his deceit as the use of the word urban was deceitful. He got angry and started spating this and that.  Then I saw him continue his same pitch.  People will sign anything without reading.
