They are the home of the National Shooting Sports Foundation - the national trade organization for gun manufacturers and dealers. Historically a very pro-gun area.

Vermont in particular. Mass and CT are relatively strict but Maine and RI are more relaxed - they don't have AWBs for example.

They are very anti-gun as are most of their friends and fellow members of their Methodist church. They moved there for the excellent schools.

Especially since there was another guy with a refile who helped stop him it will only emphasize that more people should have guns in their mind.

It is a very tiny town.

I never heard of it until today and I'm in San Antonio.

It's also in Wilson County, which is really red. Wilson County only has a population of 42,918.....considering that it is next to Bexar which has 1.7 million.
I'm sure it's got more wild hogs than people.
