Would you migrate to another state?

I am so close to CDA that I think I actually live here, actually I do. Great place, we love it here. It reminds me a bit of Anchorage where I grew up in Alaska except that is for the mosquitoes up there.:eek:

Glad the Lord has opened the door for us to stay here. ;)

Quit talking about how good it is, and keep CTS' awards to yourself. We don't need an exodus from other states.

:D:D
 
I not only would but I did. And I am happy that I did it. By the way, I left the overtaxed state of NY.
 
Don't need to move because I am in Texas. However, I do have a summer house in the UP of MI....chris3
 
moved last yr. from ct to sc--property taxes 80% lower, utilities about 60% lower, don't freeze my <deleted> off and have toys that i couldn't get in ct.:what:

I'd move to Arizona....for a whole bunch of reasons. Some of them have to do with gun laws. Others not so much. :p
 
Yes, I have several times. I have had to adjust accordingly for all of the various firearms laws across this great land, especially under some oppressive regimes like NY even before this last law.
This involved stashing firearms in other states until I could return to own them legally again, like handguns and guns with bayonet lugs and the shoulder things that go up. I was very careful to not break any laws. Because if something is legal in one state but illegal in another, it can result in a felony which bans you from owning any guns in any state.
When I finally settle down, it won't be anywhere but a free state with good gun laws, as in I will not buy land or a house unless it is in a gun friendly state.
 
Missouri and Texas are on my list to move to if things start to go down hill.
 
Born & raised-Massachusetts.
Joined the Marines
Left 25 yrs later in Hawai'i.
Settled, found a good job in Arizona.
Any Questions?
 
I live in NY, and I would be out of here in a heartbeat if I could.
I moved here from England, and it seems like I have hardly any more rights than I did there.

It's also cold, miserable and greedy with the taxes.

My wife would happily agree to move, but unfortunately we can't for another seven years.
Until my step son reaches the age of 18, we can't move to a different state, because her divorce papers prohibit it :(
 
I moved out of California and I had a CCW permit there for years.

But, the state moved too far to the left. It's ranked near the bottom for personal freedoms and business friendliness as well as support for the Second Amendment. Physically beautiful, but it's not a good place for "grown folks".

So, I I moved my business and myself. Glad I did. Things are getting worse as they attempt to tax themselves out of the hole they dug with their vast entitlement agenda.

Just read where they are about to blow up Silicon Valley with a retro-tax on investors back to 2008. http://www.xconomy.com/san-francisc...etroactive-tax-on-investors/?single_page=true

As more businesses leave, more of the population will be left-wing voting members of an entitlement program.
 
I'm dying to move.

Unfortunately, now that we have gran' youngins', I can't budge the wife. Pennsy isn't bad with gun laws but we're turning into more of a blue state every year. Won't be long. Too much overflow from the east. Funny thing is, it's not the gun thing that's buggin' me. I'm just finally sick of winter!

My wife and I are sick of burning summers that are now coming sooner and lasting longer. We have been getting 100 degree weather from April to October and 90 degree weather off and on all year. Nope, don't mind a little bit of snow up here in Idaho at all after 20 years in the high desert of CA.
 
It seems that our ongoing conversation revolves not only the potential rape and pillage our federal constitution, but the advantages in gun ownership of some individual states. Some states like Texas and Arizona are proudly vocal about it, and frankly warmer weather sounds pretty good, even if I might need to learn spanish to get along.

Many of my friends say they are willing to fight from their doorstep to defend their rights, which sounds mighty romantic and feels satisfying in the imagination, but the reality of your family's comfort should be weighed. I might consider relocating to a friendlier state, but in this economy that could mean losing money on the house, risking job security and personal welfare, and also dealing with all the other transplants doing the same thing as you, just to be nearer to like-minded philosophy. People leave their state for a variety of reasons usually connected to something their local government screwed up, to avoid higher taxes, etc. People have had to migrate because of war.

Would you move for your beliefs or stay and do the "cold dead fingers" routine? Are we at war yet?
I would never move from Texas! I'm not from Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.
 
North Dakota is very pro gun. Only state running in the black and has the lowest unemployment in the US.

Only downside is the weather ;). And housing is tough to find right now.
 
I'm starting to get worried in Washington. We have pretty good gun laws for a blue state, but our US senators are total hoplophobes and my rep seems like a gun grabber who knows how to talk to the majority of gun owners like he's their friend. I know they don't play much role in state legislature, but if these are the folk getting elected for the national arena, I hope we got some more level-headed folk in the state arena.
