VT was its own country before being talked into joining the Union. Or so says the Second Vermont Republic... who want so secede and go back to being a self supported country (thats the gist I get).
That means VT doesn't really like all these damn regulations other states, and the Fed govt keep trying to push down their/our throats. Im not sure if I can include myself... yet... as a Vermonter. I was a flatlander most of my life. I migrated from NY to VT for only a short list of reasons.
1. NY sucks, as shown by the above reports.
2. You actually still have rights in VT. (see: NY sucks)
3. I already had a job lined up for me when I moved.
You'll find stupid hippies here, who are totally against guns. Stupid hippies who are curious about guns, who you'll later find out would probably use them to assault humanity for destroying nature, and well rounded people who have come to accept/embrace the rights and privileges of gun ownership.
I lived here for about a year before finally getting around to tossing my NY drivers license, and I did it the minute I had a few hundred bucks kicking around to FINALLY go buy myself a handgun.
I went to a fish/game shop that was also a gas station and the first thing laid into my hands was a Ruger P345, which felt great in my hand, and was in my budget. I put a down payment on it. The next day I went to the DMV, applied/received my drivers license, and then drove straight to the gun/gas station and finished paying for my gun, walking out with it the same afternoon.
THATS how its supposed to happen.
If you end up choosing VT, shoot me a PM if you're up around the Burlington area. We can hit up the range sometime. Maybe my friend with the 100 round drum for his AK will come out. Wear a shirt when you shoot that, or you'll end up with a bruise outline like a screw head on your shoulder from the buttstock. I'll have to post a pic of that....
