Second homeowner chiming in. Inherited the house.

Not a lawyer, a dentist, or from Connecticut.

just gonna note that Chicago and California both have significantly more gang violence than Vermont ever will...that's what drives the gun violence in both of those places.

But the idea of moving away Castle Doctrine to Duty to Retreat - is VT looking to compete with MA for strictest gun control laws?

Last point - laws are just words on a piece of paper, especially when a CRIMINAL is invading my home or threatening my family.

i'm intrigued as to how your friend came (no pun intended) to the conclusion it is pronounced that way. Are they French or French Canadian, per chance?

This city gives back what you put into it.

fwiw the feds (for now) seem to have turned a blind eye to carrying across state lines. just flew back from NV to MA, and driving up to VT with a shitton of good green. TSA even basically says, "we don't care, but if you're an idiot and *then* we find it we'll screw you."

So basically, go out to Vegas, have a flutter at the craps table, buy some good green and don't check your bag. Or have a weapon in your carry on.

why is someone elses inability to control themselves my problem? if you dont want to participate, dont participate.

drove south this morning from Montpelier area, there was still smatterings of snow along 89 until just above Bethel exit. Will absolutely be gone by this time tomorrow.

...and then they return home to their homes with quiet, low traffic streets in places like Canton, Newton, and West Cambridge. Again, they aren't impacted by the problems caused by poor public infrastructure. Thus, they aren't as motivated to ring up their representative and demand something get done.

the ones that make this state so wealthy are not where bike infrastructure is needed or desired.
