Moving to MA with ARs

[timbo]

For sure... im no longer built for the cold

yep...I've been in Southern MO for a little over 3 years and it got down to 17° F last night...it's not supposed to get above 32° until this weekend....it sucks but the cold weather doesn't last as long as it did in NH...Hell, I just garaged my motorcycle two weeks ago...in NH it would've been in the garage middle to end of October and not back out until mid May. Here, it'll be back out as early as the beginning of April...maybe even mid to late March.

The cold weather plays hell with the arthritis in my back but thank God, I can still ride the old two wheeler.

Freedom is an illusion

My pointy was that a LOT of people here think NH is all about freedom, yet you can't smoke a plant or have too dark of a tint.

But you can have bayo lugs and suppressors, so those other freedoms don't matter!

Well, those other freedoms DO matter to some people, so to some NH isn't exactly the bastion of freedom that people make it out to be..

How many of those people masturbate to freedom in NH, yet travel and work and collect a check from a business based in communist MA everyday?

.

Window tint laws can be stupid, unless it also limits the person's ability to see OUT too far. IIRC, the regulation was more to protect the po-po from bangers that tinted their windows stupid dark and then did bad acts (with the po-po not being able to see what was coming).

As far as pot goes. IMO, doesn't matter what the state says since it's still illegal on a federal level. Which means DEA can STILL mess you up over it. The fact that they choose not to, doesn't make it less illegal on the federal level. It's also included on the 4473's now. Which means if you answer that you DO partake, then they have it in writing that you do. If you do, but answer that you don't, then you've just completed another felony. IMO, screwed either way if they decide to go after you (or pot smokers that are also gun owners in general).

If those two items are going to dictate where you live, then that's all on you.

As for working at a company in the PRM, that's where the jobs happen to be for a good chunk of people. I'd jump all over a position in NH like a fat kid on cake. Or on one where I'm remote at least a good chunk of time. I'm actually communicating for a role that's WFH 3-4 days a week. Will see what comes from that. Another is 100% remote where the orgs aren't inside the PRM (agency is NJ, client is NY).

Lol it's not that much of an illusion, go to North Korea and come back. Even shitty MA is a bastion of freedom in relative terms compared to that. And most of this bullshit is a product of your own making, some arbitrary stupid faggoty malum prohibitum law isnt really an obstacle to most people from most angles.

One balance though for someone with more than one brain cell, NH is objectively less onerous than all the other alternatives even with a lot of weighting. For 20% window tint and no pot stores, WGAF.... you get the right to vote, better representation and a whole bunch of things that are INFINITELY more difficult to come by. Like roads that arent on average nearly as f***ed up as the ones in mass are. Obviously that balancing act is different for everyone. We have people here who will live in mass because the pizza sucks in NH, so there's that.

The last line got me lol

I give up

As M1911 said, do not walk into a police station with a magazine or anything firearm related. I cannot stress this enough.

Yes, Boston has some of the hottest women in the US and it's fun in your 20's. They're also the most entitled women in the US and unless youre extremely good looking and make north of $350k, you won't be sleeping with them. $160,000 is barely middle class in greater Boston as of this writing. In fact, I don't have a friend that makes less than that within the 128 belt and they all live in modest apartments. So what you think a lot of money is in Pennsylvania is not the only attitude you need to leave at the border. But if guns are only a small hobby in your life, and you like seafood, sports, the ocean, and history, the area might be well suited for you.

You might consider moving in a circumference of about 30 minutes travel outside of Boston (lower rent) where there are more human beings not intent on telling you how to live your life. Unless you're a "city slicker" type of Dude. Or perhaps even post on here that your are looking for an apartment? That way you'd have a like minded Landlord. Unless you're hemorrhaging money and can / want to buy a home on your own right away. Then meet a nice liberal gal from the city, then she can move in then kick you out and take half your shit.

30 minutes during rush hour won't get you far. Newton? Brookline?

From Quincy, more like Canton... IF you're lucky that is.

 

[murf4321]

Love the people who just say “move to NH.”

Sometimes that just ain’t possible. Also, I have little faith in NH given how many democrat presidents they’ve voted for over the last 20 years.

If I’m moving, it’s gonna be a place far away from all New England which is all becoming more blue every day. The cancer is spreading

I meant, if you wanted to be 30 minutes from Boston during rush hour.

Yeah no way am I ever driving into Boston for work commute, not that it's an option anyway. Will likely buy a cheap beater car to putter around but for commuting, is the red line fairly reliable?

This might be the funniest thing I've read all day. You'd have to drive 9 hours outside of Boston to find people who won't tell you how to live your life...

 

[zork51]

Got a point there. Years ago, I used to commute with 2 friends into a company in Watertown and I'm from Fitchburg. We would carpool most of the time. Was between 1 and 1 1/2 hours. But some people we worked with who lived closer said they're commute was near 45 to an hour. I depends on start and quitting time on his job.

 

[Golddiggie]

I never desired for that level of ass-ache in my life, so I have zero idea.

@murf4321 Even though the state, as a whole, seems to be blue during the president elections, it still remains more freedom leaning than not. From what I can tell, enough people want to keep NH as it stands now, and not turn it into a liberal shit hole bastion like the PRM is. How long that will last is, in part, dependent on like minded people either remaining in the state, or coming into the state. Those places you think will remain free for the long term depend on the same things. This is very evident with all the people leaving CA for other places and starting to turn those states into mini-CA's. Or doing their level best to make it happen.

I've said it plenty of times, if you want to come into NH, come on in. Just leave your libtardism at the state line.

I love the people who pretend moving 15 miles north is a big deal.

I lost my entire career, pension and good income when I moved. It was my choice and I don't regret it.

Life isnt easy.

Central and Wester Mass could work. He could take the train......................

 

[Golddiggie]

I thought I heard something about the T is running without major delays for the first time... Ever IIRC. I wouldn't expect that to hold up for too long. It's notorious for either not running on time, or not running at all. I wouldn't put my trust into the thing for something important, like getting to work on time. I also wouldn't subject myself to it's schedule for going to/from work. With my field, there are times when I would work late at the office. Typically when I'm deep into an issue resolution and it needs to get done ASAP. I don't want to be dependent on the T running well when I'm finally done for the day.

I'm also not going after any roles that are either inside Boston, or too close to it. Well, unless they have company provided parking that is. Still, I'm not looking to spend 2+ hours each way getting to/from a work location.

Yes, the current chief of the MBTA has been focusing on eliminating the slow downs, and apparently he has done so. Does that mean service on the Red Line has been reliable? I'll be surprised if it has been.

 

[Coda]

I can see your point on this. It’s the whole reason I am not living in Utah right now. I like beer too much and their alcohol laws suck.

No beer....... That would certainly be a deal breaker for me as well.

 

[Golddiggie]

That's what I thought... Eliminating 'slow downs' doesn't mean they've eliminated stoppages. Or failure to run cases. You also have to wonder how much of a lag in getting to a stop is considered 'normal' by them. "Oh, it's ONLY ten minutes late, no biggie." Meanwhile, that stacks with other 1-5 minute lags to make you even later getting to where you need to be. Which means you better pad how long it's going to take you to get anywhere by a decent amount of time. Not to mention other items that can add time to your commute.

I also avoid taking public transit like the plague it harbors due to everything else about it. The fact that it's a moving petri dish, where your chances of catching something goes up significantly. That's just one item on the list. I've not even had a cold in several years now. Not about to expose myself to who the hell knows what by taking public transit.

 

[Golddiggie]

Just brew your own. Completely legal in Utah.

 

[Fixxah]

Damn y'all mods up here are savage. Some of you guys here are gents though.

The silent majority are ladies and gentlemen would be my guess. With over 60,000 members it is difficult to keep track. Welcome.

*Also, know beforehand if gunz are allowed by your landlord. Casual conversation perhaps and I would not advertise with a stickered up Pelican Double rifle container regardless. Personally, if I were in your shoes I would only bring pistols, and leave the normal magazines with your buddy.

[HorizontalHunter]

The bold bit is not true.
1) licences expire in six years, not four.
2) the law is quite explicit that if you get your LTC before 4/2/26, you do not need to take the new course. The SP "guidance letter" is wrong, it contradicts the law as clearly written.



If they're not in Mass., Mass. law has no authority over them.

I was going by the state guidance letter……Silly me.

IIRC you are an instructor so you would definitely know better than me.

Thank you for the correction……….or should I say guidance.

These laws are so screwed the people who wrote them can’t provide correct guidance on how to follow them.

Yeah pretty much the same here it was 70 last week one day... so while annoying I'll take 3 weeks of winter over 3 months

WHAT CRIME COULD YOU BE ACCUSED OF?

Again, if the storage unit was locked and your guns inside were in locked containers, then you would have been in accordance with the law and there would have been no evidence to the contrary. The fact that you violated your contract with the storage unit is not a crime. There is no law that says "you can't store guns in a storage unit that doesn't allow guns."

MA laws are terrible. Some DAs are terrible. But you are making stuff up.

That's how risk assessments work, you consider what might happen (make stuff up) and then mitigate those risks.

If you violate the storage facility contact (civil matter), you are now storing valuables in what many would consider an insecure location. Which is also not a crime. Stupid but not illegal.

If they were then stolen, the crime you could be accused of improper storage, a charge that gets raised and dismissed (with the help of competent attorneys) frequently in MA. This is a reality. It's not that different from the cases where a motor vehicle was stolen with a gun in the glove box. I don't have the details on the recently dropped John Jeffries charges, maybe they were properly stored when the vehicle was stolen or they couldn't prove they were improperly stored. But he appears to have benefitted from some back door negotiations, regular morons won't have that luxury.

Has it happened due to a storage unit theft, I have no confirmation of that. It's not unreasonable to believe it could or has happened.

I don't reload so I sure as hell am not brewing my own beer.

I am a DYI kind of guy, but some things I leave to the experts............... Like legal advice (remember how this thread started).

No joke.

Here's one I ran across today:

In the MIRCS portal there's a clicky-link labeled "license rules"
I clicked on it because of morbid curiosity.

It's a PDF from... 2000. Yes. 25 years ago!
It references both Class-A and Class-B licenses.

I remember that one, they used to hand it out with your renewal license; at least in my formerly red city.

 

[Bodhisattva]

Where in PA are you coming from?

I would seriously consider moving to NH instead of near the city. The commute may not be the best, and it may suck to have to buy a car. But for more than just the firearms issue, you’ll be much happier.
