Looking at a gun there and don't know the dealer, wondering if anyone might by a giant stretch know them. They are in Waltham.

    I'm from central MA about an hour away. Whos the dealer, where are you, what are you looking at? Most dealers in MA are pretty tough beacause theres only a handfull in the state left. I can count on 1 hand the shops with in a 1 hour drive and it only takes the trigger finger within 20 min.

    Thanks for your response, but it is too late. The gun has already sold. It was an awfully good deal and I didn't go on my gut instinct, I decided to wait till this morning to speak with them in person on the phone rather than confirm a buy last night with an e-mail.

    The gunshop in question is McElhineys, 625 Main St., Waltham.

    I thought it was illegal by Massachusettes law for its subjects to visit pro gun sights?

    I moved to Mansfield on the SW side of Boston. Seems like a nice area, but the red tape down here is unbelievable![V]

    That's some really powerful glue care to share. Fortunately my days here are numbered. Some poor sap is going to pay way too much for my tiny house with no land on the lake, get raked over the coals for taxes drive down potholed streets and have a crappy school system that sucks up 75% of the tax base. See ya just keep moving out here from Sudbury Concord Maynard Acton and other places for one more year.

    OSS, as much as I detest the place, there *are* a few good people there . . . the smallest minority group in the Commonwealth, a truly endangered species, but they exist . . . and I think the majority of them are on this forum!

    Spent the worst part of two years there. (The worst part was being there.) Stationed at Ft. Devens 58/59 & 61/62.
    The good part was that there seemed to be so many more young women than men & that it was so easy to meet them. The bad part was they all had only one thing on their minds & it wasn't the same one thing I had on mine although it was kind of flattering.
    Every one I went out with was still living at home with their parents & actually went through the "What are your intensions?" routine several times. (OK, so I lied for all the good it did me.)
