    Default Re: Frustration - too close to MD

    I hate leaving my gun behind to go to MD. It's like leaving a piece of myself behind for the benefit of extreme yippee utopia bullshit. I wish I was braver than a stoner.

    Right down there where you are. State Line Rd. One side of the road is PA, the other side is Maryland. I always got a kick out of driving down there and looking at the cars in driveways opposite one another having different license plates. A neighbor 25 yards away is in another state with different taxes, laws, police coverage. Just crossing the road armed to chat up the neighbor could make the person a criminal.

    I was just in State Line yesterday looking a a piece of real estate for my employer. It's on the MD side of the road but you cross into PA when you pull out of the driveway.
    Imagine how frustrating it would be to be a LTCF holder who lives on the PA side of a MD road.

    Being in Maryland, unarmed, always make me think of the final scene in Hoffa (with Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito).

    When Danny DeVito realizes what is going on he sprints across the parking lot, reaches under his coat and finds an empty holster.

    One of my grandparents' neighbors has that problem. I do not know if anyone there has their LTCF, but for years they had two landlines, one with a PA area code and one with a MD area code, so they did not have to pay long distance on any calls.

    The most direct and fastest route to my grandparents' house takes me into MD for 1.1 miles. When they first moved into the area about 40 years ago, they lived on the PA side of State Line RD.

    Imagine how the folks in Derby Line VT feel. Vermont basically has constitutional carry, no permit/license needed to carry, CC or OC. They share a border with Canada. There are some homes in Derby Line VT whose driveway empties into Canada. There are a few buildings that are in both countries.





    The line on the floor of these photos is the US/Canada border.





    And then there is Point Roberts, Washington. Other than a 10 mile+ boat ride the only way to get to the rest of the USA is through Canada.
