We are in a La Nina winter, our third in a row, these tend to be more mild and more unstable, but we can still get some solid snow out of them, Feb 2021 is one of the best months of Skiing I can remember, refills day after day. Hope that happens again this Winter, pray to Ullr

“Hate motivated crimes” is going to be a nightmare for courts to sort out. How can a court or jury confidently identify if a crime is hate motivated? Same problem with hate speech.

This is a ridiculous package of anti-common sense laws that do nothing but inconvenience, harass, and possibly endanger law abiding gun owners. Hopefully this is just political posturing on a bill that won’t actually go anywhere, especially since the legislature has a veto-proof majority.

I was just on 91 and 89, and the number of trucks and trailers with a foot of snow on the roof was insane.

My husband has a friend who is opening a restaurant in killington and offered him a position. It’s a very big increase from Michigan. It’s just less of a risk because I work remote and already have employment. But not interested in changing anything. Just hoping to be welcome and that’s about it tbh.

I’m just supporting my husband because he’s very adamant about this job and this move. So I’m trying to make sure we don’t move to anywhere that’s going to be absolutely unwelcoming and from what I’ve gather that seems to be the NEK

It would be great to verify this with a link. If it's real proposed legislation, why not link it directly from https://legislature.vermont.gov/ because if this is real, I think it's a bit much. To me, it reads like it was written by someone who is not a gun owner and has no association with guns at all. It's weird, some non-gun owners seem so mystified by guns having all sorts of Boogie Man associations with them. And then, when they go shooting for the first time, it all changes and they see that guns can be both a utilitarian tool and a part of a super fun sport. All that being said, I'm not some Wack-A-Do gun nut. Those people are out there, I know that. They get all tribal about gun ownership and throw reason out the window. I'm not one of them and I think it is important to acknowledge that there is a massive gun violence problem for sure. But like I said, if this is real proposed legislation, I think it goes Wack-A-Do too far.

Maybe marble too, and shale

That's just laziness.

You might get more issues from people mad about remote workers moving here and Driving up costs than actual issues with overt racism. Vermont isn't cheap. Cost of living is on the higher side. It's more isolated than Michigan. It's Cold, but you're probably used to that. I think overall you'll be welcome in Vermont, but sometimes all it takes is a few people to make you want to leave. I'm sorry if I missed it, but what made you decide on Vermont? There are both positives and negatives. For most, being cold , sometimes for more than half the year, is enough to make people regret it. Vermont can be a little boring. But that's what I like about it. It's one of the safest states though and one of the better States to raise a family.

Also, if you do move here, try not to attempt to change it. People hate that. People move here and think they know better . Vermont is unique and most want it to stay that way. I agree with that. Otherwise, why move here? I think you'll do well and be welcomed. I'd recommend learning about Vermont's uniqueness and trying to adapt to it. It's a beautiful state. If you do come across racism, try not to let it get to you. It's not representative of Vermont. It exists everywhere, from every culture. I've lived all over and seen it in every form. Even in Michigan. I'm living near Rutland now. It has a reputation, but compared to other places, it's nothing. Killington is Nice. A bit overpriced. Rutland would probably be your best option. It's close to Killington and has amenities. There are other small towns around it. You could look out at Castleton too. I can't accurately comment on the schools. But as far as I know, they're not terrible.

OK, well I’m sure your “thoughts and prayers” will work soon. Let’s do nothing and hope they do (While every other fucking country in the world doesn’t have this problem because of their effective gun control laws).

I say we dig it up and give it cpr

Vermont is loaded with select boards that change nothing and wonder why nothing changes.

They think doing nothing is tantamount to preservation, meanwhile most of the forestry isnt even 100 years old.

Guess the vt sub hates guns...it'll be an interesting conversation when they actually meet the locals. Vt has more guns than any of the surrounding states, and virtually no gun violence. This is not what we need to be worried about. How about some housing?

They say if you're allowed to make pizza then you're just going to bring billboards next, potentially increase the crime rate from 2 to 4, and that pizza isn't what makes Vermont Vermont.

Not common sense at all. We have very little gun violence. Open carry is silly to remove when we have constitutional carry, the only people walking around with rifles are hunters during hunting season...guess i cant walk along the side of the road after finishing up in the woods now?

10 day waiting period is fine, the rest are obsurd.

Probably because the low wage labor in Vermont was impoverished French Canadians. The KKK was really big in Vermont, but surprise... they put their boots on the necks of white French-speaking Catholics.

I did it to Trader Joe’s from Burlington

“Duty to run away”? So when you run from the shooter you can get tackled by the police and charged with Evading?

Do we know who wrote/ sponsored these bills? I want to remember to write a check to anyone who runs against them.
