OK, I am still waiting on graduate school acceptances to know for sure where I'll be next year but I am leaning towards an online program to start with. Flexibility is the main reason (location, job, scheduling, etc). What that means is that I can pretty much choose where to go to live and I don't have to get there at any particular time. So, while I may decide on a regular school for the masters once I get my acceptances, for now I think I'll be doing an online program for at least a certificate and maybe my masters, thus I get to choose where to live based soley on where I want to be (well, and where I can easily afford to look for a job- i.e. it must be easy driving distance or where I have family).
There are no jobs here in the field I want to work in at the BA level thanks to the prior Democratic governor cutting state mental health services, so grad school or not (and guns or not) this might just be the right time to move. These states I'm considering are areas I've long been interested in, and the fact that they are CCW is just gravy, so to speak. I have family to stay w/ while interviewing in TN and MN, while Pittsburgh PA and Richmond and Norfolk/Williamsburg VA are both within a one day drive from here (and back if I start early enough). There are other areas, but they are just too far to go w/out someone to stay with so don't be offended if I'm not considering your state (TX is one place I'd love to live for example).
Anyway, do these states have waiting periods for new residents to get a CCW? I'm applying for a FL non-res permit, do these states allow residents of their state to carry w/ a FL non-res permit? For MN residents, since the law was just passed- when does it take effect and are the rules set yet? How do gun prices there compare to elsewhere (it will be cheaper than here I'm sure, but how much- should I stop buying guns until after I move the savings are so great)? Do you have any of the horrid laws I'm so used to in MD- one a month, waiting period, a list of approved guns, etc?
Non-gun related questions:
What are housing prices in Pittsburgh PA, Memphis TN, Norfolk/Williamsburg/Newport News VA, Richmond VA and Minneapolis/St. Paul MN? How is the job market? Does anyone know what the market is like for BA level mental health work there?
Last:
I was wondering if someone in those mentioned cities could perhaps mail me (Priority mail, the 2-3 day delivery, is ~$3-4) the Help Wanted section and maybe the apartment rental section of the papers from those cities, I'll be happy to reimburse you. Please PM me first so I can ok one per city and not have to shell out ~$4 mailing cost to two dozen people. I'll hopefully just need two or three weeks worth so I hate to subscribe to the paper unless I really have to (if it takes more than a few weeks to start getting interviews I'll subscribe to the local papers).
