I'm at my home in South Carolina for a couple of weeks. I think I will go over to my favorite local firearms dealer and see all of the cool stuff you never see in Massachusetts. Get Out of That Commie state.

I'll bring my tax bill from my place in NH to a local gun shop in NH and buy whatever the hell I want.
Then I'll figure out what I can bring into MA legally and leave the rest in NH.
Remember when it comes to many handguns, there are a lot of guns you can own and carry, but dealers can't sell.

Many good handguns on the Approved Roster. I'd probably start with an all-metal Sig (P226 or P229?). No current production S&W handguns for me. Too many QC and reliability issues.
In a long gun, I don't know. Lever actions are not my thing. Probably a plain Jane Mini-14 if still okay after this anti-Constitutional insanity.
In a shotgun, Mossberg 500 or 590.

I had the m12 hatchet in my door panel of my company truck during the riots.Fvck guns, way too humane for self defense. I'm now carrying a chainsaw.
I was initially joking, but upon further thought it makes perfect sense. I can just keep one in the truck cab and it's legal in every state, every city. Needs to be a gas saw but would be better if there's one with electric start. I've never seen any laws nor signage banning the carry of a chainsaw anywhere, including government buildings.
Bring on the riots!
Who makes the most reliable starting chainsaw in the industry? Asking for a friend...
Since then I've added a m18 chainsaw, not the huge one, but the smller 16" m18 saw.
Thing is a beast! I was clearing some land, and got tired of starting my gas saw every 10 minutes. In the excavator, push over a tree, hop out, limb it. Back in machine.

Does that work with a Mass license at all NH shops or are some dicks about it? (Shooters Outpost)

That pocket on the truck door looks like the perfect spot for a mare's leg lever action 'pistol'.
Two different occasions I had to drive through and stay near some of the active riot cities during that period. I kept a Glock 20 and lots of mags in the truck as a couple of these sh!tholes had problems with 'peaceful protesters' blocking roads and highways while giving innocent travelers a 'warm welcome'.

I just dislike the holding mechanism of the firing pin actuator when “cocked” in the p365… it doesn’t scream “trusty” in my book. The safety tab protruding from the slide when the safety is engaged is also not much trustworthy either- a plastic piece that I can see how it can wear out/ sheer off rendering the safety useless… said that - my edc is a comped p365 with safety. But the safety tab needs to be inspected on a regular basis… and I do so.
Funny that I recently grabbed a Mossberg gunsight scout bolt rifle in. 223/.556 that uses AR 10-30 round magazines. At the time I wasn't even sure why I bought it.
For a handgun I'd have to go with the 1911 and 10 round magazines, or a Sig P365 with a safety and a Wilson Combal XL frame.
I have a older Remington 870 police model shotgun that I'd stick with.

Good info, thanks. I love the size of that gun for deep concealment but I have a hard time trusting SIGs in general. I'm planning on getting something in a similar form factor when I'm back south again (I'm an NC dual resident, soon to be full-time there), G43 with mag-guts upgrade maybe, or one of the handful of other micro-compacts. Right now a no-safety P365 is the only centerfire handgun I have here in MA
I would love to edc a compact 2011, but concealment is an issue in the summer. They are also -heavy-. In addition price is an issue as I am of the opinion that the edc needs to be semi toss-away, don’t care much about it type of pistol. The p365 fits the bill, but as I said I have trust issues with it especially when lives are at stake.Good info, thanks.

Here is my competition edc progression… the frame on the left is an Icarus air xmacro - prolly the best frame currently. It even has a gas pedal which works well. Loaded with softer hand loads there is virtually no muzzle rise.

No hurry. Most good 1911/2011 (read high priced) are on the roster. This is in line with the more sinister goal (I think) of our great leaders to raise the entry price of gun ownership to a point where it will be prohibitive for the “regular” law- abiding citizens of our great state

Just for fun, huh?
Carry gun: Tough call. .31 black powder 1849 Colt Pocket replica with shortened barrel (ain't a firearm) with a .22 LR conversion cylinder (ain't a firearm). Or maybe a .31 black powder 1863 Remington (ain't a firearm) with a .32 S&W conversion cylinder (ain't a firearm). In winter I suppose one could cover a shortened 3" .44 1858 Remington black powder replica (ain't a firearm) with a .45 Long Colt conversion cylinder (ain't a firearm).
Long gun: I'd pick an 8" 1860 Colt .44 black powder replica (ain't a firearm) with a .45 Long Colt conversion cylinder (ain't a firearm) along with--what the hell--a .22 LR conversion cylinder (ain't a firearm) and a detachable shoulder stock (ain't a firearm). Or the ultimate survival long gun (which IS a firearm, tsk, tsk), a Savage 24C .22LR over 20 gauge single shot. I've killed everything from pigeons to mule deer with a 24C.

Just for giggles I was looking at the roster last night and I realized the complete dearth of 10mm. Options are 2 Springfield TRP models, an SW 610-3, a Ruger GP100, Ruger 1911 and a Ruger Super Redhawk.
Talk about slim pickings...
