You can even join the ranks of those railing against the flatlanders as you're out looking for dinner. But beware, you'll always be a "come here", never a "been here".What?

You're talking to one with deep VT roots here--though raised in NY hard by the VT border. Folks do put food on the table using guns. The take on the land I hold there runs ~4-5 bucks/sq mi/ yr. Those ''nuisance'' laws come in handy for off-season pest removal. Tasty too!
Only troopers carry handguns. Alas, I'm in Boston most of the time now. It's a different world.
