I Believe this is in effect for Utah, and some of the deep south states though i couldnt tell you exactly which ones. makes sense in states with a heavy religious bent. the east coast states are mostly Democrat held - Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and have heavy Gun Control laws. |

User ID: 76411249 United States 04/10/2018 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in El Dorado Hills, about 30 minutes east of Sacramento. I'm 46, ex-military, own a Tavor-SAR and LWRC AR15 as well as a few handguns. I live in a "Red county", county that is CCW friendly and I have a permit. I have been to Idaho and am probably more conservative and freedom loving than most locals. Southern Idaho is starting to grow on me. I lived in Sacramento for 10 years, then moved to Orange County for 2 years. Moved away from California last year to northern Idaho. Here's part of the reason why. Here is more reason to consider northern Idaho: As a native Californian I was concerned that I would not be able to handle the cold, but now after my first winter I can honestly say it hardly bothered me at all. There are several factors involved. One is that as a retired person I can pick and choose when to leave my home. Another is that cold and snow tends to keep lazy liberals away. Thirdly, the snow up here is dry and pretty, and winter turned out to be a very quiet and restful period of time, in the same way that a good night's sleep is rejuvenating. Lastly, a snowy winter is a very small price to pay to live among so many patriots. The only liberal I have (knowingly) met up here is a college teacher transplant from southern Idaho, who apologizes each time she refers to her belief in global warming. Another thing to know is that the weather is much better in northern Idaho than southern Idaho, especially our little banana belt area near the Canadian border. Protected by mountains on all sides and lower elevation than Boise area. Also Boise has liberals. There may be some liberals up north here, but they know to keep their mouth shut as they are severely outnumbered. After a lifetime of searching, I finally found a place where I feel at home. Please watch the videos. |

West central Wisconsin has tons of jobs, affordable housing, fantastic hunting and fishing. The land is fertile. The people mostly white of northern Europe stock. Tons of small towns and rural living. Been here 20 years...never been harassed by police, fish and game DNR, etc. I've never felt free-er anywhere else and I've been all over the US. |

Many went to Colorado, but most came back to Cali - too much weather. Those who went to Idaho had a hard time if they were not near the city centers, and hated winter's long dreary blah and the snow shoveling and such. We get spoiled in Cali. I would choose Texas, if I could find a decent spot, but the medical is hard to get there unless you find a really good job. Some areas are not so great, some are better. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76454633 United States 04/10/2018 12:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here in NM, we have more sunny days than CA. We live in a beautiful custom 2500 sq ft house, on an acre...mortgage of $1125... in a booming, safe, primarily white and native Hispanic population -- i havent heard a spanish accent at a drive thru in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I make the more now than in CA and it goes 3x as far!! No debt. Outdoor toys galore. RV. Savings in the bank. Stress level ----- zero. Coming from the rat race in CA does give us an edge here in NM, business wise, because CA has a higher level of work ethic and standard in the corporate world. Sad but true. So keep that in mind, in NM...if you are coming from corporate CA.... you will be a rockstar here. I climbed to an executive position in less than 2 years. LOL My family will never leave CA though -- doesnt matter the stress and lack of funds makes them nothing more than slaves to their bills -- so indefinitely, i will continue to field calls about how miserable everyone is in CA, while simultaneously loading my RV and heading to the mountains for relaxing weekend staycations. ;) |

Turns out they really are. Idaho is already full of dumb ass transplants from california. We don't fucking need no more. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76408388 That's my experience too. They claim to be conservative but that's in comparison to far left California. It's like being a socialist around hard line communists. Both are collectivist hive people but the socialist hasn't yet found his inner ak47, so he thinks he is conservative. |
