Has MA eased their gun laws? 
I remember when living in Syracuse and driving to MA the Circle/slash = NO signs with a handgun in them were posted at the state line on I 90. Of course that was 30 years ago... still can’t wrap my head around having lived in TX that long...

North Florida is a little like Maine. The wealthy non-locals live along the
coast, while the poorer locals live inland. There’s an invisible but very
real wall somewhere. Like the neighborhoods in Boston, although I can see
those invisible walls, having lived among them and crossed back&forth for
so long.

But two things I notice about the white locals: lots of them smoke. And
lots of them carry guns (if all those NRA stickers are to be taken
seriously). It actually seems to be a class thing. Firearms are expensive.
Very strange to me, very alien.
