So, we are seiously considering moving from Idaho to ??? One of the places catching our eye is Kentucky. For politics, we are straight up Libitarian with some leanings to Conservatism. The country side seems beautiful, housing seems decently priced. We are not worried about jobs as we both work for large organizations with counrty-wide presence so we can easily transfer to any state.
Areas of particular interest are the Louisville and Lexington municipalities. Some questions are:
Crime/gangs? We will be leaving an area where hispanic gang crime is running unchecked and the local LEO does not seem terrible motivated to stop it or even admit it. What are they doing in this neck of the woods?
Gun range/clubs? Would be looking to join a private range/club that is CMP affiliated with a 1000yd range if possible. Bonus would be hosting IDPA as well.
Hunting? Hunting here has gotten out of hand, between wolves and over population in the Boise metro, you have a minimum 4 hour drive to get to any decent hunting and even that is sucking more and more. I am a freezer hunter, not really into trophies. Pig hunting greatly interests me, please tell me more.
Military-patterned rifles? I have a small collection of AR's, AK's, VZ, CETME, and other historical military arms and equipment. I do not want to move to an area where I can't take them out of the safe now and then, especially thier proper magazines. I also do not want to have to modify them any more than ATF already has them modified to be legal.
Concealed Carry? I currently enjoy raather un-restricted concealed carry. so long as I stay sober, I can carry pretty much anywhere in my daily travels and taking the wife out. Please tell me about retsricted places, details in the rules.
Camping? We like to go camping, fishing, day hikes, boating. How is it for public land access? Any silly rules about bringing guns to the woods?
If you can think of anything else, please fill me in.
