Should ad at this point that my neighbor is a very frugal man and won't even buy cable of satellite TV service. Instead, he uses an old roof top antenna to pick up three fuzzy local yokel channels out of Wilkes Barre.

For a hundred or two bucks he could apply for the pardon nonsense and be done with it. Aside from all that, he apparently doesn't care enough about this gun license hoopla to even bother with anymore. Might suppose too that not all guys get their morning wood by being able to run around packing a weapon concealed. Should he ever get the urge, I've invited him to our other house up in New England. The Vermont border is about 15-miles away where a person can roam the landscape carrying a concealed handgun to their heart's content without government permission of any kind.

You would think that a frugal man could afford an attorney to fix a once in a lifetime mistake. Lawyers aren't all scumbags looking to nickel and dime the poor and oppressed, but they need to get paid for the work they do and the work their paralegals, legal secrataries, receptionists and office managers do as well.

Nonetheless, I won't blame him for being a bit low on funds, what I do find odd though is that a pardon application still requires dealing with stubborn government officials, so applying for one to avoid doing that just doesn't make sense. Of course he could pay a lawyer to deal with those beurocrats rather than deal with them himself.

Besides, seams to me that applying for a pardon would involve applying for a pardon of the charge he was officially convicted of, that being a misdemeanor; I don't know how he could legally apply for a pardon for a charge he wasn't convicted of and somehow expect that to solve the problem.

You reveal a very petty and closed minded attitude. I have lived in many parts of the U.S.; West Coast, Rocky Mt. Region, Desert S.W., Pacific N.W. and the Deep South. That attitude can be found all over and it shows the thinking of a very small minded person. Enjoy your ignorance.

Americans have the right to move/relocate to any other state or region of their choosing, whether or not ignorant locals like it.

The only thing I would change is that I would add a word;

"BECAUSE 95% BROUGHT NOTHING POSITIVE WITH THEM"

There's a handful of good ones. As far as the Vermont statement. If you want to see a prejudice for flatlanders go to Vt, NH or Me.
