"Seattle/Everett area. Got a few Marine Corps buddies from there, and just visited them to check it out. I will miss some SoCal things, (Year round motorcycling, In-n-Out, friends and family, San Diego canyon riding, etc) but my new AR/FAL/AKs, CCW, and cheaper rent will make up for that, I bet."
Same situation for me except I'm moving to the Hanover, NH area for grad school. I will miss some NorCal stuff, (year round motorcycling, In-n-out, friends, great mountain roads, fantastic competitive shooting) but my new AR/ Class III/ Suppressors, CCW, and lower taxes will make up for that I bet.
