Your premise, "Where you live affects your interest and participating in guns," is certainly true for me.
I spent a long time living in upstate NY, where I hunted regularly and eventually wrangled an unrestricted handgun license. Couldn't carry at work due to employer policy but carried everywhere else. I was a member of a nearby club that had a 300 yard range, an indoor handgun range, and a great sporting clays setup. I hunted public and private land regularly, taught hunter safety to kids, and generally had a lot of time outdoors. Despite NY State's crazy restrictions, I probably shot more regularly while living there than anywhere else.
Pennsylvania for a decade after that. I still hunted a lot, both in PA and NY. I joined the local range that had a 200 yard rifle range, several well-maintained pistol ranges, as well as trap and skeet. Did a bit of IDPA. Carried daily, even at work. I had a number of friends from work and church who were into shooting sports, so there was plenty of opportunity to shoot. Got into serious reloading in PA, too.
Most recent move was to Texas. I haven't hunted since moving here. No criticism directed toward anyone else, but I'm not going to pay lease fees to shoot comparatively scrawny deer over bait. I'd like to do a hog hunt sometime, and might do a guided hunt out in west TX before I retire and move back to the northeast. Got my carry permit straight away. Once again, can't carry at work due to employer policy but still carry frequently elsewhere. Joined a local club that had a 200 yard range at the time, recently extended to 500 yards; lots of well-bermed combat ranges for handguns and shotguns; no skeet, trap, or sporting clays (though there is another range a bit further away that does). The club has been putting on what I'd call "PRS Light" matches that have been fun, and I'm looking at NRL22. Unfortunately, my work responsibilities and schedule have kept me from enjoying the opportunities I have as much as I would like.
Much as I enjoy the other shooting sports, I consider myself a hunter at heart. From that perspective, I miss PA and NY.
