Then they'd be in violation of the state they are entering, provided their firearm isn't legal in that state, or if they were lacking a permit to carry, if that was their intent.

You can't legally purchase a firearm in a state you don't reside in without that firearm being shipped to an FFL located in your state of residence.

You could be potentially charged with DUI: Observation, but odds are, if you're being asked to perform an FST, you are in fact inebriated, and you're just helping build a case against yourself.

I would bet money none of the operators of those vehicles give a flying fuck about their license status.

Where is this center going to be located?

Lol no.

Yep. I bought after the financial crises in 2008, and our lender went on and on about new rules put in place to prevent that sort of crash again. We were still approved for an amount that, if used, would have resulted in us eating nothing but Ramen noodles for the next decade. It's insane.

That attitude is exactly why there are some fantastic deals in the Pawtucket market.

If you're open to military service, the RIARG/ANG offers student loan repayments. Having a degree would also make you eligible to commission as an officer.

>I honestly have no idea what the local public high schools were doing.

I had this epiphany when helping administer ASVAB testing to high school seniors. You'd be shocked at the number of students leaving the Providence public school system who are functionally illiterate.

COVID really kicked the hostility into high gear. I've been a mod on the sister sub for nearly a decade, and prior to COVID, moderator actions could often be counted in the low double digits for an entire year. Needless to say, that is no longer the case.

I'm currently overseas, but I've had the thought of putting together another meet up upon my return. One of the reasons I did so in the first place (other than wanting an excuse to drink beer with new and interesting strangers) was to remind the community that there is a physical person behind each username. Of the dozens of gatherings I organized, I can't recall a single serious argument/fight, despite the fact that there were people of all race/class/sex/political affiliation attending. Disagreements, sure, but civil ones.

People think twice about saying nasty things when they recognize the humanity of the person behind the screen.

It wasn't always this way. A decade ago both this and the state sub were much smaller, but, oddly enough, more reflective of the residents of RI, albeit skewing younger, college educated, and middle class.

I used to put together meetups on a regular basis, sometimes with up to 50 participants, and attendees had a great time. I'm not sure I could pull that off now.

Make sure you ask for it "all the way" too, while you're at it.

Head on over to the Dark Lady and order some gaggers, I'm sure the patrons will be more than happy to help.

Makes perfect sense if you're able to project out 30+ years on a cost/benefit analysis. I've always wanted a plot of land on a river so I could run micro hydro for power.

Thank you for the informative response. Probably won't make the switch on my current home due to the costs, but I'm looking to build a house within the next decade, and it seems like that would be the way to go for my forever home.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the project cost?

>The wise answer which NO ONE WILL DO - is trade this parcel for the one behind Turks Head, or the parking lot at Westminster and Union, or Westminster and Snow (you know, where all the high rises, restaurants and other urban amenities already exist) and have him build it there.🤷🏼‍♂️

Sounds like you put more thought into this than the state did. When I seize power and become dictator, you'll head up the ministry of urban development.

That's one of the upsides of OC; it carries less potential of permanent damage than throwing hands. While the effects are quite unpleasant in the short term, there is no lasting damage, and I've seen first hand how quickly it can bring an encounter to an end.

Hey man, I can't really help you on the housing front, but if you're concerned about personal safety, consider getting some OC spray. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them, and provide training when I'm back stateside.

It might not provide a ton of units, but I'll take any more supply provided in a severe housing shortage.

Maybe. I know 56th troop command and the 143rd INF jump into Big River on a regular basis.

Midwest and South too. I'd be willing to bet that some of the former rust belt cities might see a revival as industry moves back to the United States and Mexico.

I can't blame younger people for wanting to leave the state. Buying your first home at 35 because entry level units are 300k+ is just nuts.

If i recall correctly, Rhode Island was either last or second to last when it came to residential building permits issued US wide.
