First thing I'm doing is getting a gun.

North-eastern bears aren't that bad.

For no real reason outside of a middle finger to the people I live with and this entire area as a whole.

Sure, they're a pain in the ass, but they're no Grizzlys.

Also self defense and the other legitimate reasons.

But yeah.

Well yeah. Like I said. Vermont's a good place.

wait where are you and where are you moving to ?

I'm close enough to chicago where I get to deal with all their bullshit laws.

And somewhere in NC. Not by choice but by necessity.

I'm so sorry

and glad you've survived this long.

I'm not close enough to the crime, at least.

Just the laws.

lol

I know all sorts of pointless information about gun laws because of it.

You're not in Deerfield, are you?

For example, did you know it'll cost you $500 *a year* just for the privilege of being able to CC?

And that's only in the occasional business that doesn't have a "no weapons" sign on the front door.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!

Shall not be infringed.**

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!

There's also that law that says you aren't supposed to have a knife longer than 4" in city limits.

And just, tons of bullshit.

Fuck that shit

I can open carry a katana.

People open carrying just to be shitters are just that.

Have some self-restraint. lol

I said I can.

Not that I do.

It's good to know what you can and can't do. 😄

Fair point.

Although, I disagree on the point that open carrying point.

I'm still in the process of inundating myself with the local laws of NC and some of it's just weird.

I think it might have more to do with different regional cultures

but I've seen someone open carrying a dagger on their belt here

and the worst I think is 'Don't mess with that guy...'

I mean I guess it also has to do with *how* you're carrying it.

If it's borderline brandishing, you come off as an idiot.

If it's respectful, it's fine.

Oh, yeah.
