Moving to MA with ARs

[ColumbusOceanBlue]

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.

Well it'll just be a one year lease to start with so who knows. Beauty of not buying [not that I can afford it hahaha] is that level of freedom to transplant. Grew up around the York, PA area. Kinda middle of nowhere, middle of the state where it's poor but not destitute. Got everything you really need though.

 

[FalArAk]

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.

Lets do this

Lets pretend that when it comes to gun laws, MA is EXACTLY like NH.

Everything else is the same, politics, weed laws, etc

Where would NES live?

Only reason I want to move to NH is there is a shit ton of places to LEGALLY ride a dirtbike, MA not so much.

It's just a simply numbers game. NH just doesn't have nearly the population density of snow bunnies to pick from cause there isn't a Boston sized city.

It's a numbers game all right, 2, 1, 3, 4

.. If NH didn't leach money from NH residents working in MA and living in NH and the mass exodus every weekend into NH for tax free shopping, their laws and regulations would be very different.

Closest I’ve ever been to that area is Harrisburg for a few days. But usually go to the State College area (Huntingdon) for a week every summer.

If your main motivator is pus I wish you the best but warn you it may all be in vain.

Also keep in mind .gov will be mounting you with no Vaseline daily. Plus the fact that 90% of the yoga hotties in Boston will run for the hills before inviting a 2A advocate to make friends with her "pus".

 

[M1911]

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.

There is no effing way you would get charged with improper storage if the gun was in a locked case in a locked storage unit. None at all. A car is not a locked storage unit. Every storage facility that I have been in has video surveillance. If a unit was broken into, the video would show that there was a padlock on the unit. There is your proof that it was stored in accordance with the law. No DA is going to try to prosecute that.

You are making this up out of whole cloth.

NH hands down. As bad as MA gun laws are, it wasn’t even in my top 3 reasons to get the hell out of there and never go back.

I am way deep into a relationship before the person knows I have a gun. If that is your opening line or litmus test, you are relegating yourself to bottom feeders.

It's like anal sex, it(guns)must be introduced slowly and just little bits at a time over the course of 6 months or so.

[doolz]

Too late on the move to New Hampshire and commute. Would be way too far anyway and I don't have my own car. Working near the downtown Tufts Medical area and got a place near the subway station in Quincy. Rent prices downtown Boston is rape.

Do not rent a "public storage unit."

Go to QPD HQ and work on getting your LTC in MA ASAP!

For the time being, until you can get some more ducks in a row, I would leave the guns with family/friends in PA until you have a more suitable living situation here to store the firearms you have...

... Advice from a friend who lives in Dorchester and works in the South End.

Good luck.

That will work with Boston liberal women. Good luck

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?

Depends on the day of the week and time of year. The subways are generally more susceptible to issues in Summer months. I used to take it every day until about a year ago. The line runs slightly SE (Braintree) to NW (Alewife). I still see their delay notices. The 3 most common are 1) stuck/disabled train 2) Police activity 3) Medical issue. It is also probably the most heavily used of all the subway lines. But if you're getting on at one of the Quincy stops in AM you'll probably have no issue getting a seat. Going home from Tufts you have to do Orange line to Downtown Crossing....on certain days you may have to stand for a couple stops on the Redline. During rush hours they average every 5-8 minutes. Off peak they'll run less frequently. The good news is the Orange Line (which used to be shitshow) is now fairly decent with new cars and track updates.

The line splits at JFK headed south from Boston. One branch goes into Braintree the other into Dorchester/Mattapan (some not so great neighborhoods). So only half the cars will be going down the line toward Quincy.

So the short answer is it's "fairly" reliable, but when things go sideways they can go down the tubes in a hurry.

Again, do you tell everyone you meet you own guns?

Guns are a tool, not a lifestyle to me.

If you wanna get laid in Boston by some hottie in yoga pants and UGGs, best not to talk about Trump or guns

The people. It’s the mindset there. The people are completely in their own rude little soccer mom, obnoxious, pathetic, brainwashed liberal world. I can’t stand being around them. And everything is illegal there. It’s miserable. You spend half your life in traffic and the other half in front of a TV because there’s nothing good to do there besides tune in to someone else’s fantasy because everything fun to do there is banned illegal. Except actual things that should be illegal, like the corruption, the illegal immigrants, the way people drive, etc. And the crime culture in city after city there is disgusting. I hate everything about that state and almost all of the reasons are the people and the mindset of the majority that live there.

This is why every chance ma**h***s get away from work they pour into other states like Maine and NH and annoy the f*** out of people there too. Because they know it’s better everywhere else too. But they’re too damn dumb to realize that the reason it’s better in other places is because they’re not in those other places. Once they go to other places they ruin those places too with the same BS politics and rude and obnoxious attitudes.

Everyone here is excluded from my prejudice of mass residents. You’re all great. But every other wacky moonbat you’re surrounded by belongs in an asylum. And I don’t want to spend another minute around any one of them and the shitty living circumstances they produce for everyone else.

And by the way that’s my top reason. There’s still a whole damn list to get to that I’ve got memorized quite well. But I’ll leave it at this.

What's the point of having ARs if you don't have a car? You going to take the T to the range? Get a friggin car, this is America. Then drive to Malden from your NH apartment and take the train in.

 

[teamRR]

Leave your guns with a friend or family in PA who you trust (or NH, or wherever the guns are legal and transferring them requires no background checks or paperwork). Some day, if you are a freedom loving gun person, you will leave MA - it's guaranteed.

When in MA, sure - get your LTC. Buy a mini 30 with a bunch of 10 round mags, and a low capacity .45, 10mm, or carry pistol, or two. But don't trouble yourself, unless you are law enforcement or some special class, bringing normal guns into the state.

For those who said this, that it's cheaper to live in NH - rent in half decent border towns in NH is actually more expensive than the cheaper towns outside of Boston, and it is far more expensive than the towns 30 minutes outside of Boston that are in MA. And as a NH resident, rent isn't a MA tax deduction - where it is if you are a MA resident.

Plaistow for instance, any decent 1 bedroom is going to be about $1800/month before utilities. I pay $2200 including utilities for a bigger private single bedroom, it's very nice including central AC wood floors and such, but nothing around here is cheap until you cross into MA.

What was this thread about again? 6 months before you try something in the something?

OP, I am not a lawyer but you should be good to go if you keep your stuff locked away in your home upon arrival. It needs to be locked up anyway given the MA storage laws, you just can't go play or carry until you have your LTC. MA is one of the best places in the country for density of gun clubs and number of competitions of all types and all through the year. I moved here a few years back and have fallen prey to all the bad influence in this forum . I'm sure I've spent way more on shooting than I would have down south. Not my permanent home but I'm going to have a great time while I'm still here.

After all is said and done, I believe OP said he is young 20 something.

If I was that age, I would live close as possible to a city. I'm not so old I don't remember how much fun I had going club to club barhopping looking for vagina.

Now..I like to visit Boston, but I like living way the hell away from any city a lot more.

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.

lol. This guy.

Good for you, it’s not possible due to the fact that I’m not selfish and just do whatever I want without consulting my family.

Also, NH isn’t the liberal free Mecca folks pretend it to be.

Good for you losing your career, income, and pension. silly me thought it part of my duty as father and husband to provide for my family. I’m happy you’re happy. My not moving has zero to do with my job or income generation. I can work from the moon.

It’s laughable folks just assume one can move at will.

Also, how about those home prices “15 minutes away” in southern NH? Very reasonably priced. Good job, good effort, excellent input.

Feel free to text me next time if you want to discuss this further instead of this passive aggressive quote reply on a message board.
