The 6 craziest state gun laws

[glowing]

7. Most people in VT couldn't afford a Bushmaster and if they are wealthy,

they are normally the crunchy, granola's that have moved in from the city for some fresh air.. and live the rest of their lives in birkenstocks and drum circles.

I had friends who used to hunt before and after school. They had their hunting rifles in their truck's gun rack. Then there was a ban from vehicles parked on school grounds from having weapons in them.. So, they parked just off of the school property and walked across the st to the school ground (shoot the teachers were lucky they actually came in from hunting at all during the season-- to many, like my sister's family and she's a school teacher, it means having food in the freezer. Her crappy sallary doesn't go all that far. And her husband certainly doesn't go hunting with a bushmaster (less bullets is the whole idea).

I actually didn't know anyone who owned a hand gun. My uncle had a couple of hunting rifles locked up in his gun case for when he went hunting. I know my brother in laws are locked up tight. However, it can get depressing and there is a lot of poor folks, but they seem to be original Vermonters and tend to just drink themselves to death, have car crashes, or fall off roofs and drop trees on themselves or a tractor accident occurs. But as the world encroaches, the state has to change... Its not just Vermonters anymore and there are a few Universities and tourist destinations that should be thought more carefully about. One of my mom's friend's husband was killed by a hunter while picking berries. Accident, but the kid was scared and ran, if he had run to get help, the husband would be alive and 5 children would have had a father to grow up with... Hunting accidents def. happen too often. My sister and I weren't allowed to go into the woods back behind our house during deer season without tons of bright orange and an adult... And we were constantly running off people from hunting on our land because my mom liked to see the deer eat from under the apple tree outside our window (my uncle wasn't allowed to do his "hunting" for deer in our "woods&quot LOL. I actually think he kept up the "sport" of it so he could take his week long buddy trip to PA, drink beer, and not have a "honey do list". He was more handy for keeping foxes at bay. (we lived next door to one another growing up). Now, the place was sold to one of my friends and her husband is a hunter, he called politely to ask if the black bear or any fox was around, could he shoot it this past year... since they also raise chickens on a run. My mom worries about her wandering cats, so as long as he wasn't aiming at them, she was good.

Its something I never thought about growing up. Then again, I graduated hs in 1997 and times have def changed. BTW, I live in FL now and this state is far more dangerous feeling than VT could even think of becoming ever. People scare the shit out of me here.. I wish I could leave and move back to the "safety" of VT. Insanity seems the general rule here.
