He didn't. Massachusetts has a decent amount of concealed carry holders. Some MAY get away some may not if they screw around and find out with the wrong person. It's just so around not good. It's not just dangerous for them, it's dangerous for innocent people trying to go about their lives.

I know this is an RI sub but how'd that work it for this elderly guy in Boston. I drive through Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, Boston, etc. These riders are punks who think they should be allowed to do whatever pleases them. The only hope for a safe summer would be a Semi vs these pricks.

I came here to mention All Trails. It's so helpful not only for finding places, but knowing the conditions before you arrive. Several times I was gonna hike somewhere and someone else said it was flooded out recently, so I didn't bother.

And yeah, as for ticks, I coat all my gear usually spring and fall and when I hike I put a "healthy" later of "OFF" everywhere. I also spray my dog with a natural Ceder bug spray and he's on meds. The spray is so so, but I've never seen one latched on (fingers crossed).

I'm not a native Rhode Islander and the hiking is one of my favorite things about the state because I grew up in a very urban area.

Street-legal bikes are both less cool and more expensive (because they have things like blinkers, etc.).

These kids buy dirt bikes knowing full well it isn't legal to ride them on city streets.

As far as I know it's not legal in parks, either, or most publicly-owned woods, but they don't seem to care about that, either. Pretty much these are for privately-owned land.

The RI Audubon Society is at asri.org and they have a directory to all of their properties. They’re all nature preserves so no dogs allowed, no hunting permitted at any time. Some beautiful places all over the state
