Maine 72 Hour Waiting Period Begins Today

[M1911]

I feel safer already.

To enforce a first purchase only, cool down, you'd need either a registration database (of at least the first purchase), that a retailer could access, of a licensing system that either, shows if that first purchase was made on the card, of a searchable database.

I agree with the logic, why would you? But the devil is in the details.

It's way simpler than that, states that are only 50% garbage link a carry license to a full bypass of waiting periods, etc. I don't agree with these laws but it's far less obstructionist legally than a mandatory wait period for everyone. Someone in those states who gets a carry license more than likely already has at least a few guns they own.

Maybe if it’s not your first purchase particular location it would be in the FFL‘s bound book anyway. Don’t kill yourself. They are all registered when bought from an FFL…
And in Massachusetts, we all know they have a list of shit anyway. I guess it would cost money to set up a system to avoid the cool down.

But none of this has to do with safety or suicide prevention

Bound book records don't go to the ATF until the FFL goes out of business (drops their FFL)

We are talking about Maine, MA didn't even put in a waiting period with the new BS laws.

True enough, it's just more BS

'It's so poorly written': Firearm group, businesses raise concerns over wait period law

Maine is now one of 13 states with a waiting period for certain gun sales. However, gun advocates have problems with some of the details in the new law.

I know the ATF doesn’t have the bound books but if you go to the FFL they’ve already bought from Me he’s got the record. He knows he already bought a gun…. that doesn’t matter what state you live in.

My point is it all goes to show you that these laws weren’t thawed out by anybody who knows anything and they’re proposed goal is not what they’re really trying to achieve or else we can make this really simple instead it’s the old goal to complicate it

Sue them. No other right has waiting period.

Next will be a background check and 3 day waiting period to buy ammo.

as i reload all calibers for my rifles - it is a damn fact that time had come to begin 9mm reloads as well, and bullet casting.
those who will end up not self-sufficient will regret it dearly, and very soon.

Been thinking about getting out of MA in a year or two. Was just in Maine this weekend and it really is quite lovely, hate to see stuff like this.

NH remains the top choice but ME always seemed like a good alternative.

Unfortunately with the migration of Ma**h***s to NH it’s only a matter of time before they contaminate the whole state and start demanding MA style laws. Southern NH is already known as MA North.

NH it's a mystery to me. I have a hard time believing only conservative Mass people are going there. I hope it remains as good as everyone says.

That's cute claptrap given a good chunk of southern nh is dark red. most of their moonbat problems are domestic, not imported.

@Rockrivr1 NH has the highest state level representation rate in the country. They have over 400 reps. This means districts are very small and gerrymandering is difficult. Our of all the states in new england its much more difficult to push gun garbage. Even if the house flips back, it'll still be difficult. NH legislative session is short, and a lot of shit gets killed/ITLed vs passing. It's literally the single thing that keeps them out of trouble. Once you understand this it's easier to comprehend why NH appears wonky. While the BDC population centers go D, everyone else is far more center/right.

And there is no money in being a rep, so no career politicians.

 

[steve8140]

Yup, I think state reps get paid something like $100/year.

As it should be.

Doesn't surprise me I waited 72 hours to get a pizza delivered in ME.

Can only go by what friends in the Nashua area are telling us. They state rather strongly that Ma**h***s are ruining NH. Think I’d believe long time NH residents over a MA person telling me I’m wrong. Thanks for the sarcasm though.

Nashua has been hard "D" for a long time. That's not really new.

 

[Dennis in MA]

Another huge win for NH, demorats know how to keep them in business. I was told if this passed, Kittery will be moving its firearm dept to NH.

Ah yes, let's rub our hands together like Snidely Whiplash at the misfortune of residents of another state.

Sometimes people’s perceptions aren’t always reality. If you are looking for lefty massh*les ruining the state you probably start seeing them everywhere, but in reality it may or may not be that bad.

If I had to guess, a lot of it is homegrown. MA transplants are probably 50/50, maybe even skewing a bit right of center.

The problem MA itself has is that Boston is an international scale destination for radical left migration due in part to the university system, plus Boston is just nicer than other lefty cities especially anything else on the East coast. Assuming you can afford it.

 

[Rockrivr1]

That's cute

Wow, this is the third post of mine you stated is cute. I guess I should be flattered. Do you like flowers?

Sad but true. That started happening over 30 years ago when all the computer companies moved to NH bringing them then in. However there are a lot of homegrown lefties too!

And when the woman who fears for her safety, buys a gun, and that day or the next two gets severely injured or killed by a deranged lover after being told she has to wait 72 hours to possess it, then what?

A similar thing happened in NJ to a woman waiting on her permit and the state could have cared less!

Unconstitutional BS

Most cities and college towns in NH are hard blue…

Oh, it's not just MA-holes, although we issue at least a dozen NH licenses to them each day just in our office. There are a lot of CA, CT, NJ, NY, CO, and MN people lately. A few months ago, we were seeing more WA and HI people. Quite a few people from TX lately, but the ones coming in are frequently born in CA, or at least complaining that TX is "becoming too right wing". Everyone is returning from FL. I mean, come on. You went there to get old and die - now stay there!

As above, it's people from all over the country, and a good percentage indicate by what they are saying that they lean way left. A few come in from MA and complain about the taxes that MA wants to charge now, but by coming here, they are just pushing the taxes up for those of us here and themselves (gonna need new roads, schools, infrastructure, police/fire services, etc.)

It is that bad. See above. (just not all of them are from MA).

I used to have a bumper sticker on one of my cars quite a few years ago....it said:

WELCOME TO NH...NOW GO HOME!

I wonder if they are still available...
