Grahhh Back after a few days off is always a best. Been running around like crazy. So not a ton of content.
I will say after dealing with North Carolina Bullshit weapon laws, and the TSA Concentration Camp rules, it does feel good to be carrying my biggest gun (S&W1911Sc) and my biggest pocket knife (Which is a satisfyingly large 5″ Ka-Bar Dozier folder), and my CRKT Gekkota is back on my Keys (I could probably sneak it through the retard patrol, but I love to too much to chance it being stolen by the Sky (butt) Pirates).
So yeah, there’s that.
Something is off when you go to MA and feel more free…
Well both states have a LOT to work on. Here in Mass (and only because I specifically chose to live in a pro-gun town) Carrying and knife laws are pretty free and lax. But I still need an expensive and extensive permit to simply OWN a gun, and as much as I really want an M&P9, and an M&P15-22, and a FAL Paratrooper carbine, I simply can’t have it because of the AWB limiting magazines and “Evil” features on guns that are really just practical and useful, and normal magazines made after 1994.
And of course we have our bullshit handgun “Safety” roster that makes buying many handguns nearly impossible.
Meanwhile outside of their bullshit $5 Jim Crow pistol permit, gun ownership is VERY easy in NC, but with all their binding signage, and stupid knife laws, and restrictions on carrying where alcohol is served makes actually PACKING a gun damn near impossible if you’re doing the tourist thing. Doing the Day-to-day living thing isn’t all that bad so long as you avoid most places.
I will say, only one of these states has any hope of repealing said stupid laws outside of a federal court order.
So NC is hardly THAT bad, especially in today’s climate of gun ownership and personal protection.
