Hey gang,
I'm finishing up school this time next year. (I'll have an AAS in Electronics/Robotics and Industrial Automation)..I'll also have half of my A.S. in pre-engineering and 3/4 of a AA. I don't plan on furthering my education anymore for some time, unless I run into really affordable housing. I used to have a career in I.T., and I am in my third year of college at 27, having switched majors twice.
I need to be closer to my mom in Gastonia, NC, and my family in WV.
My questions..
Will I get to enjoy the same type of freedoms as I do here in Missouri?
Such as concealed carry, and LOTS of hunting land. No limits on mags, ammo, or purchases.. etc..
I ideally I would like to buy about 50-200 or so acres of mixed brush, field and tree. Have land for hunting deer, turkey. A stream or river for fishing would be a plus. I realize thats going to take some saving and planning. My mom's house is in my name, and I have around $200k equity in that alone. My credit is getting slightly better, going from poor to around 600+
So.. how does it all (gun rights, land prices/availability deer/turkey population and of course JOBS) compare to MO?
Right now I live about 40 miles south of Saint Louis, and life is good, except we really have no family, and my wife is on a very long trek to a M.S. or further in biology or some form of science. I need to be close to my mom, as her (my wife) family has shunned her since she left the Jehovah's Witness community , and we have no real ties here anymore sans a few friends that I would gladly fly out to my new place.
I know I'll probably have to start in the suburbs, with a decent sized fenced in yard (we have two mischievous Australian Shepherds)
