I'm stopped by a Dick's Sporting Goods in Rochester, NY yesterday and I couldn't believe how easy it is to buy a rifle or shotgun. I think all you need is a NY state drivers license to prove you're a resident and 18 years old. Quite different than NJ! A guy was buying a rifle and it was so simple, no FID. I would have guessed NY would have stricter gun laws than NJ.

 

Dick's had no handguns, just like NJ.

 

BTW, they had a LOT of ammo in stock, especially .223. They must had a hundred boxes or more of .223.

 

Another reason to move!

Move to PA not NY. NY has stricter restrictions on guns than NJ in some respects. Pre-ban, limit 10 per mag if post ban etc etc. Least they permit CCW in some areas.

Buying is one thing,.....CCW is quite another. I believe NY is about equal as far as CCW laws are concerned, right?

 

The buying aspect in NJ never bothered me that much, for long arms that is, whats one more card to carry in your wallet? Its the CCW aspect that bothers me about NJ.

 

Would you still be a devils fan if you moved er would you have to become an Islanders or Rangers fan??

There are no Islanders fans....

There are no Islanders fans....

 

WHOA WHOA WHOA don't be dissing on the Islanders ok. I don't know who you are a fan of, but talk to me when you win 4 consecutive titles in a row, and then we can compare. Thats what I thought, an't gonna happen!

 

Though I am very upset with the Islanders as of late. This whole Dipietro thing just pisses me off to the point where I havn't watched them on tv for almost two seasons now. Then we could talk about snow, but we won't because that'll piss me off even more. But I still love my Islanders even though I grew up in good ole NJ my whole life!

As Ian Anderson, lead singer of Jethro Tull once sang:

 

Oh, we wont give in,

Lets go living in the past.

 

:roll: :mrgreen: :cry:

Or even JJ

 

"What have you done for me lately"

Dems fightin' words!!!

I love when sports fans talk about their favorite teams and use words like we or you as if they had any thing to do with the team winning or losing by yelling at the TV from their favorite chair drinking beer and eating chips. Like we won or we lost or you lost. You get the idea.

 

OK, now back to the topic, no replies

NY laws suck when you want to buy a handgun. Here in NJ you can walk into any store fill out the forms and walk out with it. IIRC, in NY you have to do the paperwork, pay for your purchase, and wait for weeks until you can take it. Same goes for F2F.

Well, I wasn't talking about moving to NY. I was just commenting on the ease of purchase of a long gun in NY. I would rather move to PA, VT, TX, FL (am I missing any ones better?) as far as gun laws are concerned.

 

As far as a handgun purchase, yes, you can walk out with one AFTER you get the NJ handgun purchase permit.

VT has good gun laws?

VT has good gun laws?

 

As far as I recall, VT has the best gun laws in the country unless it has changed. I think you don't even need a permit to carry concealed.

yea, I don't believe you need anything to carry in Vermont. In Montana, you only need a CCW permit if you carry conceal into town-- otherwise, no permit needed if you CCW (the same applies in Idaho as well). VT still has the most true-to-Constitutional laws in the nation though I believe.

As far as I know in Vermont you can carry open and conceal and not need to be a resident of the state.

+1 ny double sucks

Yeah.... NY/NJ are pretty much the same overall. If you're gonna move I would go to PA, NH, VT... I wouldn't go to NY.

Oh man, if I could move, I would probably move to PA. Too bad I am stuck here for so many reasons :cry: Just have to man up and make the best of it, I guess.

 

Funny sports/fan interjection guys..once again Tb nails it!

At least in NY, you can get a M1 Carbine. But honestly both NJ/NY sucks. Then again, Commiefornia is worst...so be happy in NJ.

CA is worse? I thought we held that honor.

VT is the true consititutional state guys! Next up is NH (live free or die - I love the slogan)

Unfortunately, it's damn cold and there are very few people :roll:

 

I also need some sunshine at least for 6 months in a year for motorcycle riding (not that NJ helps).

 

I am thinking VA, WV, PA, FL ... somewhat in that order. Of course, nothing beats MT in guts and independence. They are planning to pass a bill that will potentially preempt the feds' authority (BATF and all)! Hurrah.

I know VT is the best in terms of gun laws which is strange since a very liberal state otherwise. I'm wondering how long this will last in VT. But, I hoping to get to a warmer state.

 

How's TX in terms of gun laws?

 

MT is good too, but cold.
