You know what I've been randomly wanting to buy?
A butterfly knife.
In CA you had to smuggle one in from Mexico but apparently they are legal pretty much everywhere else.

I guess I always thought they were illegal here in Michigan, but I could be wrong. High grade fireworks used to be illegal too and now they aren't so who knows! I'd definitely cut myself with one of those!
Living on the border of NY and NJ is wild because everything is illegal in those states.
Meanwhile PA is an open-carry state.
I saw this dude sporting a holster and a revolver at the grocery store once it blew my mind.
In PA you can buy the crazy professional mortar fireworks it's wild you'll go into the store and people are buying over $1000 worth of stuff for July 4th. I'm guessing some of them resell it illegally across the border. Which is a felony.
I remember people used to drive down to Illinois or Indiana to get the good stuff when it came to fireworks. Now you can get them anywhere. There was a time too when my brother in law worked for the fireworks distributor, he would occasionally sell some stuff out of the back of his truck. I think when the police confiscated stuff they would hand it over to them to dispose of it and a lot of times they would just resell it again :)
That would probably be a little unnerving. Especially these days. I have a couple of friends who have their concealed carry permit. I was driving my buddies truck one time on a road trip to Wisconsin and it wasn't until the way home that I realize he should probably move the gun under the seat to his side while I was driving.

Yeah I was looking into this as well apparently you just pay a tiny fee here and they give it to you for like zero work.
Crazy stuff.
That is pretty crazy. Here you have to take a day long class or something like that. My one friend was an instructor for a while. I don't know if he still does it though.
lol read this shit:
So … “we the people” of Pennsylvania have been trying to get rid of it … for years. And not because it is expensive or difficult - but because it is meaningless.
The law requires you to get a PA LTCF (Pennsylvania License To Carry Firearms), and carry a small card.
PA is a “permitless” open carry, shall issue, “permitted” conceal carry state - which means:
that if you can lawfully purchase a firearm, you can “carry” it openly without first asking the state’s permission (Philadelphia (largest city) being an exception - as you need to have your LTCF to carry in any manner)
but in the rest of the state: to put on a coat, or get into a car with that same firearm - you must first ask the state for “permission” to do so
The process of getting an LTCF involves “applying” to the local sheriff's office (filling out a form) and paying $20. The sheriff’s office runs a background check (same one as used when buying a firearm). When you pass the background check - they take your picture and hand you a “card”. Renewal is every 5 years, following a repeat of the original process.
There are no additional requirements under the law other than to “carry the card with your picture on it” if you somehow decide to put on a coat or get into your car while in possession of a loaded firearm.
So far from being “expensive” or “difficult” it is rather the opposite - and (typically) meaningless in either stopping criminals or making the license holder somehow “better” when they have a coat or shirt that “conceals” their lawfully owned firearm.
It is just one more cost, inconvenience, and liability applied to the one group that is not the problem (the law abiding) - which does nothing to stop those that aren’t.
Welcome to Pennsylvania!
lol @ $20 & FIVE YEAR renewal.
Wow, that's pretty crazy. I don't know what the specific requirements are here in Michigan. I only own long guns, but I know that places are always offering 1 day CPL classes. There are usually signs on telephone poles advertising the classes :)
