"Which state has the best gun laws" is a loaded question.
New Hampshire has a state law that PROHIBITS any town, state government agency, or municipality from having a gun law that is more restrictive than the state.
That means it is ILLEGAL for any state,town, or local gov to make up a regional statute that is more restrictive than the laws of the state. IE a town can't issue a local ordnance against concealed carry, or ownership, neither can a town hall, state park, legislative building, state owned school or university.
Even Arizona and Vermont doesn't have that.
Texas would be great if it didn't have the Damn Yankee influence... We're slowly throwing off the anti-2nd-Amendment "laws" that were forced on us by the carpetbaggers and the damn liberals in the NRA...i've always heard mixed reviews on texas. Texas do they have od ammo rules? I know they are more restrictive with knives than NY. which leads me to believe they may have other less than stellar rules and regs.
Yeah, but Indiana is really close to Illinois, so you're guilty by association...I guess I will have to suffer by here in Indiana. State preemption, shall issue, lifetime license, Castle Law, Stand your Ground, sound suppression devices are legal, can't have short barreled shotguns (damn you John Dillinger) but SBR's are okay with tax stamp, full auto is okay too, pistol grip on a shotgun does require a License to Carry Handgun, oh and the law is silent on method of carry so open or concealed is legal. Poor us.
The difference is that many of us who might move to California would just ignore the leftist anti-2nd-Amendment gun "laws" that you have and continue to keep the guns that we already had. Most people though fail to understand that the state has no more business telling you what type of firearm you can have than it does what type of religion you can worship. If the state was to start telling people that only a particular subset of religions (or lack thereof) were legal, I think that most people would have a problem with it. On the other hand, if a state like California tells the people that firearms that look a certain way are not legal, the sheeple don't have a problem with it. This needs to change.At least you're not out here in the People's Free Demokratik Socialist Liberal Republik of California... I remember the good (make that GOOD) old days before these lib nutcases got hold of our gub'mint to make it all safe and cozy for the inner city types, whalloping all over the rest of us.
Actually, when I was growing up it wasn't like that here... its only been since the 70's that its gotten really bad... and if they had their way, they'd force everyone to be just like them (don't think they don't try...)
Makes it damn hard for any of us trying to make an eee-scape to a normal state, as we have this reputation of going into a wonderful place in a much nicer state, paying 10 times too much for the land jacking up property taxes, then whining and demanding everyone has to change to be just like the city they just left... ARRGHHHHH!!! (I think the presence of big cities are what turns people... um... strange!)
Mind you, some places here are OK... tho the laws here still reflect the nanny statist city dwelling liberals... Which makes me laugh about people in must issue states and those who have more sane firearm laws complaining about how bad it is... When you think its too bad, move here...
There used to be a law about silencers, but I didn't see it on the VSA site. It used to go something like $25.00 fine for each; manufacture, possesion, transfer and use. IIRC, one could get a special tax stamp for them, but they weren't cheap, and you had to "know somebody" to even get one.
§ 4010. Gun silencers
A person who manufactures, sells, uses, or possesses with intent to sell or use an appliance known as or used for a gun silencer shall be fined $25.00 for each offense. The provisions of this section shall not prevent the use or possession of gun silencers by:
(1) a certified, full-time law enforcement officer or department of fish and wildlife employee in connection with his or her duties and responsibilities and in accordance with the policies and procedures of that officer's or employee's agency or department; or
(2) the Vermont National Guard in connection with its duties and responsibilities. (Amended 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), { 238f, eff. June 3, 2010.)
That would appear to be a play on "The Sunshine State", a nickname for the State of Florida.whos the gunshine state?
Utah doesn't allow loaded carry of handguns in a vehicle without valid CCW, that is a big strike in my book.
