Hello, all. In an attempt to consider places where I would and wouldn't want to move to, I (of course) want to consider firearms and political climate when deciding.
So I went to packing.org and checked out the states that do and do not "shall-issue" permits. But that got me thinking... getting a permit isn't all there is to firearms ownership! So if anyone would be so kind as to either (1) point me to a website that would answer the following questions about different states, or (2) answer the questions for your home state, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
(1) Is there a waiting period to purchase? Is it for everyone? How long is it?
(2) Is there an open carry law in your state? Is it commonly practiced?
(3) What is the general political climate when related to firearms (including shooting on your own land, hunting, etc)?
Thanks folks... coming from PA but living very close to NJ, I know that those imaginary political boundaries really affect gun ownership!
