Posted a few months ago that we were in the process of moving to a small town just outside of Wilmington, NC. Arrived here about three weeks ago. Last weekend as I was doing a few things in the garage my neighbor across the street pulled up with his family from some outing they had been on. Out came three military ammo cans and several rifles in cases. He laid the rifles on the big cooler and proceeded to unload other junk. Meanwhile, the neighbor kids came down the street to round up his kids to play. At this point, I went into FULL ALARM mode! OMG! KIDS! GUNS! 911 !!!! SHELTER IN PLACE!!!! Then I realized I was not in MA anymore. The kids went off to play, and eventually he put the guns and ammo somewhere.
Couple days later I was talking to my next door neighbor (he is sorta like a middle class Larry the Cable Guy). He told me that he had left home and about a half hour later ADT called to say his door was open and would he like them to call the police? The police were called. He got back to his house before the cops. When they arrived he told them to be aware he had a loaded shotgun leaned up inside his bedroom door and if it was missing to be very careful. Now we all know exactly where that would have ended in MA don't we?
About 42% of the people in this state own guns. They are common items as they should be. I have not seen anyone walking around open carrying even though it is a bit rural around here.
Ahhhh, it is nice to be back in America again, I missed it a lot the last five years in MA.
If I want to buy a pistol I need to either go pay the county sheriff a $5 fee for a purchase permit, or get a ccw license for $25. The laws here are not "perfect" but not bad either.
I moved all my guns out of MA even though we will be doing a bit of commuting for a while. With the nutty laws there, someone breaking into the house and stealing any of them becomes an incredible nightmare, no thanks. If someone breaks in around here, it is nothing more than a theft. Imagine that!
On another note, BEACHES. They have real ones here. With warm water a person can actually swim in. Big beaches without a bunch of uppity beach front home owners who think they own the Atlantic. Fishing piers that go way out in the water. Palm trees. And yes, it gets hot around here, really hot. But that is ok, my old bones like heat.
