You should be allowed to carry a gun if you want to, I have no issues with current state laws considering how low our homicide rate is (it’s the lowest in the country). At the same time, it is against federal law to posses a firearm if you’ve been convicted of a felony unless you have it expunged. When you buy a gun at a dealer they ask you on the 4473 (background check form) if you’ve been convicted of a felony or domestic violence. If you lie on the form about anything, you’re committing a felony and you’d be dumb to think they won’t find out.

Reply to hello, after living almost 8 years in NH , we are moving to AZ. bittersweet feelings. I am sad to leave our beautiful NH. anyone else moving out of state? do you have the same feelings of missing out on the mountains and the NE summer? by crazycurious7

Idk why this popped up on my feed since I live in Phoenix, and have never been to New Hampshire, but all i can say is that we have a load of mountains and outdoor life! In fact, Phoenix is home to one of the largest wild preserves/parks in the country (south mountain). It’s also called the valley because we are surrounded by mountains, but the whole state is covered in them (it’s not all flat and boring).

Best of luck in your move!

Dealers won’t sell to you if you’re a user of marijuana. When you fill out ATF form 4473 (a background check form), they ask if you use or abuse any illicit substances, and they specifically state that marijuana is federally illegal. If you lie and buy a gun anyways and they find out, you’ve committed a felony.

I’m not too familiar with most places here yet but if you look at the north Carolina sub and look up Franklin there was some info there. I will say it’s a huge culture shock. The general vibe is unhurried and unbothered. This has made it difficult getting our car repaired, and affected doctors appts, grocery shopping, restaurants etc. It’s very frustrating because you can’t help but perceive it as unprofessional and ‘lazy’ when it’s just the culture I guess. It’s slightly maddening and I’m not sure I can personally take it lol. It may be fine for you but it will be an adjustment either way.

Because there was nothing rational about it. Why weren’t they concerned 2-3 days after the incident when, if the compound was able to be carried by weather patterns long distance, it would have been in the north east. We know what the compound is, we know what is created after a combustion reaction. The resulting “fallout” isn’t reaching New England, let alone 14 days later.

People in the immediate vicinity of the derailment absolutely have a right to be concerned. Once you get you outside of a 10-15 mile radius being cautious and testing your ground water isn’t the worst idea. Outside of 50-100 miles from the site you’re just hiding in fear of nothing. This isn’t the first train derailment of vinyl chloride, and there’s been a decade of research studying the last major accident where a train dumped 18,000 gallons of it into a local water supply. We also know how the compound carries through studies of the vapor cloud created by the last incident. It’s heavier than water when burned, and the rough estimate of the plume was about 1KM in altitude. Meaning it wouldn’t “seed” a rain cloud and then make its way out of the region. It can absolutely mix with lower atmosphere and be dispersed in a small radius, even up to 100 miles. The big health concern is that in moderate PPM of drinking water it can cause liver cancer. Again, the immediate burn radius everyone should be concerned, in the larger radius of up to 100 miles, people should be testing their ground water. 500+ miles away people aren’t smelling the vinyl chloride, and there certainly isn’t a concentration high enough to be concerned about. On top of all that, even if the compound could seed clouds and move with the weather and rain the accident was now two weeks ago. Whatever weather system was in central Ohio at the time would have moved through the northeast 2-3 days(max) after the incident. People are only reporting these “observations” in the last couple days as the echo chamber grows louder.

I feel like every other story on r/collapse is about how they're running out of water in the southwest and people are having to abandon their homes, and yet. . . people are still moving there. Weird.

I was born and raised, moved to AZ for 3.5 years but moved back. Happy to be home but I miss AZ sometimes, lots of natural beauty there. So different that what I grew up with.
