Christ with all the drama in New Hampshire I'll continue supporting my Mass gun shows at least they know what they can and can't sell me.
Of course I'm not serious about the gun show, but the drama, lets just say a lot of northerners are in denialNot sure if serious. You mean the same gun shows where the vendors rat on other vendors, and then cajole the promoter into banning vendors because the one vendor had better pricing than them? Yeah I think most of us will pass on that.

For a mag? Never in my life have I been asked to produce a DL to buy a mag. Ever. There has to be more to the story.
I just bought a mag for my SIG 9mm a couple of weekends ago at SO. I got asked for my DL.
They don’t know if the magazines will stay in New Hampshire and if you like it so much here and really do own property why not just get a New Hampshire drovers license? Might save you a few dollars in taxes as well.
Personally, I agree with the shooters outpost policies. Why should you be allowed to buy something here thst you can’t buy at home? It’s bad enough that you can carry here and New Hampshire residents are denied that right when they visit Massachusetts. So, no not fvck SO, fvck you!
This is a whacky position really. Why sell anyone a gun, they might hurt someone with it! They arent responsible for what their customers do with anything they sell. Ive bought ammo there lots of times with a mass LTC, why is a magazine different? Should they sell to NH residents because they might drive across the MA border?
Because technically speaking they are residents of MA. And if this became a thing eventually someone would have to explain how they ended up with a MA resident LTC and a NH drivers license (which requires you to be a resident of NH). If people want to do this anyway I say, it's your life do what you think is best, but remember PSGWSP.A magazine is different because a Massachusetts resident can buy and have Ammo with the proper license but new magazines over 10 rounds are completely prohibited. Why should a New Hampshire dealer sell thst which you cannot buy in your state of residence? And I repeat my earlier question to all thos3 who claim to own property in NH why mot just get a NH drivers license? Thst will solve many of your problems.

This sounds like good urban legend territory . . . tax on goods purchased outside of Mass is payable on your State income tax filings as "use tax" not due as soon as you cross the border . . .
Yes, I remember when NH SP detained them. They woould radio plate numbers back to MSP troopers waiting for them just over the MA border.Mass Troopers at the Rest Area Liquor Stores is not "Urban Legend" it actually happen.
I am certain that MA DOR's position would be that if you are a MA resident that you owe the "use tax" regardless of where the product ends up. I'm in the process of moving to NH and am in the same situation . . . and no, I'm not going to pay MA "use tax" on stuff bought in NH for my NH house.so I stop and buy a widget at the walmart in NH and use it at my NH place and I should pay taxes on it? uh...no. Hard pass. It only applies to stuff you bring back into the commiewealth.
Backing away from thread drift a notch. I am just saying their shit policy and running ascared of the Maura threat of a lawsuit is a shit policy, and it's why I'll just go down the road.

It's on the tax return and TurboTax asks about it, so my guess is April 15th.Yes - but when is that use tax due? Surely not the moment you step over the border . . .
So much NES jabber![]()

Supposedly when you file your tax return.

Right, so I am wondering how a cop could watch for someone crossing the border and get them for not paying taxes.
Although isn't it technicly illegal to transport any alcohol no matter how little, back across the border to MA? Not that anyone ever obeys that of course. But a cop could try to get some for that. Years back in Maine I wanted to buy a case of delicious local fruit wine and bring it back to MA but they told me I could not because it was illegal to cross state borders with it.
There is indeed a MGL that makes it illegal to "import" ANY amount of alcoholic beverages into MA! I found it accidentally when perusing some US Customs rules about bringing booze into the US and later I confirmed it with a former NES Mod who owns some liquor stores in MA.Although isn't it technicly illegal to transport any alcohol no matter how little, back across the border to MA?

I'm sorry you missed my sarcastic comment about MA DOR.No - it depends on where the primary use is. If you’re a MA resident, not a trade or business, but an ordinary schmoe like most of on here, and you buy a fridge for your weekend/vacation house in NH, then there’s no problem. If you buy that same fridge in NH for use of your primary residence in MA, then technically you should report that as an untaxed purchase.
For a mag? Never in my life have I been asked to produce a DL to buy a mag. Ever. There has to be more to the story.They probably ask for a driver's license when you try to buy one.
I didn't realize my guffaw upon reaching that line in the form last weekendIn practice nobody pays use tax
I think he means the gun shows where the vendors would... with all the drama in New Hampshire I'll continue supporting my Mass gun shows at least they know what they can and can't sell me.Not sure if serious.

Funny coming from a guy who enforced MA gun laws and takes a MA pension to be taking so much shit to private business owner who employs 100 Americans and can be taken to court by the MA AG for arbitrary shit.Given this some thought, If Jimmy likes Mass Laws so much that he enforces them in another state, Maybe he ought to close up shop in New Hampshire and Move back to his home state where those laws are actually enforceable.

I am heading "up that way" later today (Amherst st). Last time I was by there, it looked like they had just gotten their furnishings, and were getting the floor plan laid out. I'm ready for them to open as well....
I can see by reading this thread that in such a case, there are some NES members that would not lend a hand in supporting the new gun store.Through a previous job I know of several disarmament enthusiasts in Amherst, NH. When do the protests begin?
Probably not, but wouldn't it be nice if we were all on the same side of the 2A issue?I wonder if we can ever have a SO thread without the pig pile.....
