Thanks for the message Michael, BUT.........

Wow,
I just went back and read the rules and I think EVERY state and even the Disctrict of Columbia are allowed except Mass.  

MOVE!!!

Something is wrong with that state apparently.

Only persons residing in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming who are at least 21 years of age can enter.

I find that amazing, someone that is running the contest went through all that trouble to write all the states that are OK, why didn't they just write "if you live in MASS you can't enter", very stupid.


I don't know all the states, but counting real quick it looks like 49 or 50 are listed, again real stupid to write all that out.  Heck it's even OK for The D of C to enter.

Yeah, it stinks, but it's obviously your legislature and not Colt that are causing this.  Most likely a loophole in the law that has to deal with 'giveaways' of handguns.

Actually, no modern Colt 1911 is allowed to be purchased or given away in MA.  Only Colt firearms that were in the state prior to the ban in 1994 are allowed.  I've yet to see one in any gun shop near me because folks just don't want to part with them.  Colt refuses to try and get compliant guns because, unlike CA, the market is too small.  Same with Kimber, Wilson Combat, Les Baer, STI, etc, etc, etc, etc.....

Now that's some good (bad) info.  So happy to live in the rather FREE state of Vermont.   

CC without a permit....and I get to buy most anything I want (can afford) to.

In VT, can you open carry (long gun or handgun) without a permit too?

As far as I know but have never tested it.  Basically I only know that you can carry concealed with no permit.  As long as you can legally own a gun you can carry concealed....nuff said.

Maybe I'll wander downtown tomorrow with a shotgun and see if anybody questions it.

Take a look at the facebook page again.  At the beginning of the spiel for the contest the say in good sized letters that Mass. residents are excluded.  I looked further in the rules to see if the explained why and there I found the big list of all the states/cities except Mass.

No one will say anything, it's Deer season. You may get asked about your license, if you don't have one leave the long guns home.

Vermont does not legislate your 2A rights. They have no laws "allowing" any sort of carry, or any thing else gun related.
Vt gun rights are based on the fact they ratified the National Constitution, including the 2A, and have never passed any laws Limiting the citizens rights.

Wow, even Hawaii is okay.

But wait, Massachusetts, you're not alone.  They left off, PR, AVI, Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Marianas.

Well you can buy a S&W or a Remington or the new sweet Ruger 1911.

I would buy one of those over a Colt anyday anyway.

As I said Colt still is not in my good graces.

They said for us gun buyers to go to he&&, that they won't sell guns to us. That wasn't to many years ago that that happened. Now that all of their easy money has dried up they are trying to get us to buy from them again, no thank you.

I'll stick with my old colts I have and I WON'T buy anything new from them.
