No, not me, not yet.
I got word today that my range buddy Charlie & his wife are moving off to Alabama, and the lack of RKBA in NJ is a direct and immediate factor in this decision.
Charlie's a vietnam era vet, and former sniper for the Marines. Everytime I spend any amount of time with him I learn a little more about shooting. He & his wife will be missed.
Charlie is NOT the first person of whom I have direct acquaintance who has moved, citing RKBA as at least part of the reason.
What I want to do is create a Catalog of folks who have picked up their lives and moved out of NJ, and for whom the 2nd amendment (or lack thereof) was a significant factor in that decision. I'm not certain yet what I'll do with it, but it seems at this point that to simply bear witness to America's Hidden Political Refugees is important.
Perhaps, someday, with enough of these tales, we can rub our congress critters noses in them, and figuratively whack their snouts with a rolled up newspaper.
If you are such a person, please come forward with your story, and add it to this thread.
If you directly know of such a person, invite them to list themselves, or do it for them, with their permission.
Thanks.
