I am considering a very good job in Massachusetts, down on the coast between Rhode Island and Cape Cod. If I take it, I'd have to live either in Massachusetts, or in Rhode Island. I currently live in Connecticut, which could be a lot better regarding self-defense, but either of these two states would be a step down from here from what I've read.

I wonder what members living in either of these states think, which state is it more straight forward to obtain a carry permit, any considerations for getting a non resident permit from the other state, etc. Any insight would be very helpful as I decide just how much of a step down it would be (in terms of my rights) to take this job.

(For anyone who thinks the best choice is secret option number 3, move to the edge of CT and commute, I have thought of this and still am considering it, but only as an absolute last resort.)

So what do you think, RI resident and MA non-resident, or vice versa?

Thanks.
