AZ
Shall issue, 16 hour course, $65 fee, two week turnaround.
No license/permit,(except shall issue CCW), registration, magazine limit/ban, no AWB, Class 3 friendly, no waiting period, state pre-emption law, so no need to worry about crossing local boundries while carrying. We also have open carry legal, and our CCW permit is not weapon specific, or number specific, so you can carry anything legal, inlcuding any legal Class 3 you may own. Only places you can't carry are posted buildings, government areas,(who are supposed to provide safe storage), and Indian reservations.
Good outdoor shooting ranges
Tucson Rifle Club, over a mile wide, 7 bay Cowboy action range, 1000 yard range, 500 meter range, three 100 yard ranges, 22 range, pistol range, etc...Also my favorite, Tucson Mountain Park range, cheap and usually very quiet, due to it's isolation. Also Desert Trails Gun club on the south east side, made from old concrete castings, and Pima Pistol Club on the Northwest side. Not to mention, AZ law states you may shoot if you are over 1/4 mile from any occupied structure, so wildcat ranges happen all the time. Problem is, litterbugs ruin a good spot, and it gets posted....
Good hunting, easy access to public land to hunt, and not big hassles to get hunting permits
I don't hunt, so I don't really know, but Northern AZ has better hunting than down here, from what I have been told. We have several differant seasons going on all the time, and lots of BLM land that can be hunted with permission. Hunting license are available all over, even in some liquor stores - I kid you not!
Affordable housing. A nice place in nice neighborhood or rural area for $125,000 to $150,000.
Easy.
Conservative Pro Christian family values (no rainbow flags, tributes to Michael Moore, etc..)
You make of your neighborhood what it is. As for religion areas, we don't have ghettos here, (originally Jewish settlements, NOT inner city slums), we don't really care if the next door neighbor worships a head of lettuce...we may laugh if his "god" wilts, though...Just kidding. Plenty of churches around here, all denominations.
No trailer park areas please.
Why? I live in a trailer/maunfactured home. You should see the construction of new manufactured homes - they are better built than a lot of the frame and chicken wire homes going up now. But, if you insist on not being near any trailer parks, I suggest getting a houseboat on the Texas coast - manufactured homes are everywhere in the country.
We have expanding areas here in Tucson all over, with new construction of "stick" homes going up left and right - a brand new subdivision is going up right down the street from me, "Gladden Farms", nice single and two story dwellings. If I had a digital camera, I'd post some pictures. Marana is a growing community with open areas still available...some homes can have 3-4 acres. Some are way too close together - greedy developers.
