Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good people in Kansas ... its just the politics that are screwy (big part of the problem is that too many Kansans feed at the government trough, yet have very strong Christian values ... it breeds a bunch of socially conservative, religious, Socialists. Also I lived in Wichita so its a small city that feels the need to aspire to being like Chicago or some other leftist run metropolis).
We moved here in August of 2002 ... politically the state has actually changed a lot since then.
What I'm hoping is that this last election cycle was a fluke and Colorado will return to what it was way back in the early days of the 21st century

Avoid Colorado or open carry -- and urge West Virginia governor to veto HB 3074
I followed the progress of SB 34 through the legislature. It probably would have been possible to amend the bill so that it would have applied the new residency requirement only to Colorado residents, but the local pro-gun groups preferred to denounce the bill rather than narrow it. It appears that some legislators voted for it thinking that it merely required Colorado residents to get Colorado permits.
Once Governor Ritter signs this bill, unless you are a resident of a state that has reciprocity with Colorado, you have two choices: (1) go to Colorado and open carry, which is apparently still legal in most parts of the state(this is probably not what the governor has in mind when he signs the bill); or (2) take your vacation in one of the dozens of other states that recognize the Florida nonresident permit. (I am not a travel agent and this is not travel agent advice.)
There is a bill currently on the desk of the West Virginia governor, HB 3074, that would invalidate nonresident Virginia permits in West Virginia, and prevent any future recognition of nonresident permits in West Virginia. If you want to urge Gov. Manchin to veto HB 3074, here is his contract information:

Ca expats all liberal
This is OT, but I don't believe that CA expats are automatically liberal. Most of the folks I know who've left here (myself pending) are leaving to get away from liberalism, and back to normality.
I'm pretty riled up that my favorite vacation spot has suddenly decided that my UT CCW is no good any more.

This is true.
Here in Colorado Springs we have the world headquarters of James Dobson's Focus on the Family ... they're CA expats.
But by and large California is hemorrhaging liberals who infest conservative parts of the country until they outnumber the "locals" and institute the same leftist crap that ruined their home state.

Please don't disparage where people live there are liberal & Conservative in every City, County & State. Orange County CA, is almost Shall issue so to make a blanket statement as you have is inappropriate.
"Bugs & rodents INFEST people don't."
"I would oppose the bill on general principles, but it doesn't sound any worse than requiring CO residents to have CO driver's licenses, not licenses issued by Florida. But Coloradans can apparently get CCW licenses."
Disarming responsible citizens is always bad.

Well now, I can't get a ccw at home
(may issue - but only if sufficient economic or political clout
) and while my Alberta drivers licence and Canadian pilot licence are recognized in the U.S.A., only Indiana will accept a Canadian authorization to carry. When this is signed into law my Utah non-resident CFP becomes one state less valuable.
:banghead: From my viewpoint that is bad law.
