New signs at Methuen state line

[Palladin]

So I'm in and out of NH multiple times a day. Dracut, Salem, Methuen & Pelham.
I noticed this sign a few weeks ago, finally stopped to read it. They're posted on sidestreets that enter Methuen from Salem or Pelham.

I actually think it's a good reminder for NH residents , who have no idea of MA laws.

typical Massachusetts...the important part is barely readable given the size of the font. I guess we should be grateful the posted anything. Bow to the masters of tyranny and oppression.

 

[ProGun]

I remember the big mandatory 1 year (?) jail sentence signs they used to have at the borders along the major highways. Maybe when Dukakis was Governor?

Seriously , you have to come to a complete stop to read it. But, it's also on a residential sidestreet

 

[kalash]

I'm ok with this - most people from free states can't even fathom how strict our laws are and it probably never even occurs to them that they can get arrested here for having some .22 rounds rolling around under the seat.

Welcome to Massachusetts. Papers please.

so you can barely read it if you are moving at any speed and they placed them in an obscure place so they'd be lucky if a handful of NH residents actually saw them....typical freakin Mass.

Put GIANT signs on the highway so the majority of NH residents or anyone else coming into the state can see them.

I am very careful to not leave anything in my car in case someone who does not have an LTC borrows it.

I had a 100 rnd box of WWB break and spill one time. So after I collected them all, I counted them. 102. Glad I only counted after and did not stop looking when I got to 100. Actually I kept looking out of fear that there might have been 103.

Yes, under Dukakis. When Ed King was governor after Dukakis, he had the "unfriendly" signs removed because it was bad for tourism.

Exactly, the Peoples Republik of MA.

I am very careful not to loan my car to anyone who does not have an LTC. My kid learned this when she turned 15.

My uncle remembers this one well:

Yeah, after they passe the Bartley-Fox crap.
IIRC, after they came down, one of them was given to GOAL as a souvenir.

A NH legislator tried to get this done a few years ago, and it was shot down. There are some places that you momentarily enter Massholia while driving thru Salem NH.

Lowe's in Salem. Building is in Salem, the parking lot is in Methuen

Yep, and driving from 28 past the Salem Flea Market to Cross Street.

the 2nd Amendment is a right of every American but only if you pay a fee. I wonder if Price will ever be put on the rest of the amendments By the communist Democrats

 

[Sweeney]

Why is this sign not full of bullet holes?

If I was a resident, I would be at the next selectman's meeting to find out when the rest of the MGLs will be posted.

This.

Plus I think the sign could mention that a spent 22 rimfire shell can get you arrested and jail time without a MA FID.

 

[Mr.E]

Right next to that is there a sign that says "no documents required to prove legal citizen status"?

Good for you! But you will not find any Selectmen there.

I believe same for the Pheasant Lane Mall's (in Nashua) parking lot.

That name should get the software @#&!^ type auto edit.

Or simply sprayed over with black paint or the SS lightning bolts painted across them all?

Yeah, giant sign that says “leave your freedom at the border”.

 

[Al-Jim19]

They misspelled persecution.

Yeah that was a thing hahahah

The sentence is mandatory, the charge, not so much.

Oh, man. One of those is gonna look sweet in my basement...

My Mom said it would be ok...

 

[enbloc]

I would love to see signs posted from the Minga Valley PD saying:

Gun Theft is A Crime.
Anyone Caught with Stolen Firearms
Will be Prosecuted to the Fullest
Extent of the Law...
