Yeah that's why I only put on my seat belt after I crash the car. I've had zero crashes! Why would I try to solve a problem that doesn't exist!

> In the case of RI the local PD can deny the sale if the person doesn’t have a criminal history, but is known to have issues that haven’t involved arrest

Is there any public info about how often that happens?

Anecdotally, I have heard about different town's police captains (or maybe town charters or something?) and whether they subscribe to a "shall issue" or "may issue" philosophy; like, whether the police just rubber stamp applications, or if they do actual vetting.

But that's also second-hand likely-misremembered info too, which is why I'm interested to learn more/be corrected.

Reply to Does anyone know how I can access archived issues of the Providence Journal? Im looking for an article from March of 1974 by HunkaHunkaBerningCow

Through the NewsBank database that I have access to through my local library, there is a full-image archive of the paper ProJo from 2017, or full text from 1980. I don't see any archive for pre-1980.

If you call either your library or one in Providence, they might be able to help you though...this is the funner part of their job.

>It's pathetic that you attack people

You don't see the irony in that phrase? Hope you find a friend so you don't need to string along inane arguments based on some imagined reality. Calling out your literal, direct prejudice "prejudice" isn't an attack, it's a fact. If you don't like that fact, then change yourself.

From the way you troll through people's histories, I would have thought you'd know enough to know what you said isn't true. Or, duh, you don't care about facts you just want to argue. Silly, I should have known that.

Good luck ignoring me, I really hope it sticks this time and you can avoid jumping into conversations you're not a part of just to argue with me.

I specifically asked you not to respond. If you don't even put in the effort to do as I ask when it's so dead simple, how do you expect me to put in the effort to decipher your contradictory requests to accommodate your wishes? Or are you okay being so blatantly hypocritical that you want different rules to apply to you vs everyone else?

This is so broad to be an essentially useless answer, but...demand. Right on that stretch of Post Road, there are vacant storefronts for any smaller businesses (think accountant of insurance agent) to move into rather than buy and build on an empty lot, and it will be better for businesses to be clumped in a plaza like across the street with Kohls, Daves, Marshalls, and soon to be TJMaxx, Starbucks, and Chipotle where someone can park once and hit all of them rather than having to get back on the road to get to the next stop.
