Well… Rhode Island isn’t #1 in the country for the number of mass shootings, so something’s working. I don’t agree with the restrictions on tasers though.

Thank you! I’m not comfortable having a gun right now. I had one when I was with my ex and it ended up being put to my head.
My roommate is a piece of shit and turns out he has a DV conviction. I had a PI run a background check on him before I moved here but this didn’t come up for some reason… I’m very petite and weak, and based on my previous experience, it’s pretty easy to snatch a gun out of my hands and point it on me. Just don’t want to risk it.

I ordered one on eBay because Amazon wouldn’t deliver it here!
I assumed the same thing. When I pressed charges on my ex for DV in Texas, the cop gave me a ticket for not changing the address on my license within 30 days of moving… after I told him it’s because I was too scared & didn’t want my ex tracking me down. Lol. I haven’t dealt with the police here so I just wanted to double check! Thank you!

I’m trying. It’s hard when breaking the lease is $15k and I have nowhere else to go up here.
Roommates are hell.

Reply to Are Rhode Islanders entitled? by Loveroffinerthings
Most strangers are nice. However, I’ve lived here for 6 months and have made 0 friends. None. I’ve gone to bars by myself plenty of times before and have easily met people who I ended up being really good friends with. More people go out in big ass groups here so it’s hard to do that. I’ve gone out maybe 4 times in 6 months.
Driving wise, they’re too nice. I’m from Dallas so I’m a pretty defensive driver…. I’m always prepared for someone to be an asshole on the road. But people let me merge, turn left, etc.. it’s weird to me since everyone in Dallas drives like hell.

Alex Jones used to talk about it on his show and my dad listened to him everyday on the way home from school… my dad bought some from infowars and it worked, it was this but w/ an infowars label

If you can, go to Costco in Avon! Call and see about their pricing first but they’re always super cheap.

Hi! Just moved here too. Welcome.
My doctor in Texas sent it to the pharmacy her. Since it’s not a controlled substance, it can be prescribed across state lines.

Reply to comment by Toast119 in Providence 14th most expensive city by Ciabattabunns
Yeah, but most of it is in areas where people are scared to live. (Deep Ellum, NE Dallas, Park Row… locals are still weary about Bishop Arts)
The total rent may be cheaper, but the price per square foot has to be higher. I couldn’t justify paying $1500 a month for a 500 sq ft apartment in a bad area with no view, and no washer/dryer. I was making $15/hr in 2020-mid 2021 so even if I could justify it, I couldn’t afford it. It was cheaper to stay in an abusive relationship, unfortunately.
I do miss gated complexes and parking garages though.

I definitely feel safe here, I’m just living with a piece of shit who can’t be confronted about paying his portion of rent or utilities without getting hostile. Aside from that, RI is the safest place I’ve ever lived. Unrelated, but in December, the news reported on what I think was the 9th homicide in Providence for the year. That was crazy to me! I’m from Dallas, and I checked how many homicides had occurred in Dallas up to that date…. 210! Insane difference.
There are pros and cons to both more and less restrictions. Guns I get. Tasers I don’t. That’s just ridiculous. I don’t expect this guy to do more than get in my face and act like he’s going to hit me (exactly what he did last time & it scared the shit out of me) so I think I need something just to be safe.
