Now's your chance all of you GD'ers who love to scream "MOVE" when you see a Californian complain about tyrannical gun laws and pinko politics!
I closed a deal three months in the making and now have no traditional (income, business, etc.) reason to be here. I already reside in NV for a good chunk of the year so it's an option to hop over the border full-time. I'm also open to other states. Which ones and why? Now I know what you're thinking.... DON'T COME TO MAH FREE STATE AND TURN IT INTO KOMMIEFORNIA! WE DON'T WANT NO CARPETBAGGIN' UNION SYMPATHIZERS! I assure you, aside from being willing to objectively discuss political policy and play the devil's advocate, I always vote for the guy that offers the most freedom, the least taxes, the most awesome gun laws (or better yet a lack thereof), and the smallest possible government and intrusion into the lives of citizens. If there isn't one, I vote for the most conservative politics (yeah yeah, vote your conscience, we can argue about that in another thread). So you can feel free to invite me to your state. However, if your area has a chance of me getting loved tenderly by guys with banjos and bad teeth, I'll pass. I don't want some hillbilly to see my LV fanny pack and think "he's cute and stylish too!" 
So where should I go? I should be able to pick up a place to live in most places. I love small town atmosphere but I need to be within range of civilization. I need enough land to shoot and hunt on (fishing is a plus) but no restrictions or laws against doing so. Suggestions appreciated! |

Thank you, my parents once stayed a while on the coast while visiting with my sister's boyfriend when he was playing ball at UAB. They loved it. Definitely an option but humid right?

Oh I know I won't be one of the smartest. I never have been. My luck, sense of timing, and when to make a deal is unimpeachable though.
 I'd rather be lucky than good any day. I can't remember who said that.
Anyway, it wasn't football, it was baseball. I still have the fitted green cap he got me from the players stock! She moved on to dating a pro ball player who shall remain nameless (no it's not a household name guy, rather a fairly well known long-time relief pitcher since someone will ask). That was back around 1997-8 if memory serves. Quote HistoryQuoted:

You told us how you will vote, but how will you act when your neighbor's pig pen is up against your fence and you smell them all summer long? Or goats, how do you like that musk smell? Or how about when you see him killing every dove he sees?
Those may be more telling than your voting record. |

Idaho has good laws, friendly people, and fairly inexpensive living. It's easy to find a nice place (even riverfront) with acreage and lots of open space, and still be close to a city. And it's all much cheaper than CA.
My family is getting ready to move there. Mostly retired cops or military, all pro-gun and pro-freedom. They'll fit in there better then here. I plan on joining them once I get my stuff in order. |

A little before my time there. I would still suggest Guntersville if you want to fish. You're close to a range that Remington uses to test prototypes and there are lots of places to hunt.
You can hunt with a suppressor here. |

These are very good questions and all good factors to consider:
First, I need a piece of property large enough to hunt and fish on as well as shoot anytime. I should be able to site the dwelling so that there's not much of a chance of being next to the dung-pile. Still, my current neighbor in CA has 6 horses and 8 acres built like a combo horse show track and breeding farm so I am familiar with the wafting stench and how far it carries. I can deal with it. That's nature. I certainly won't be calling the cops, the county supervisors, the zoning people, and my lawyer if that's what you mean. My other neighbor has about 4 goats in a large pen. She uses them to keep control of blackberry bushes and other nuisance plants. I can stand on the West part of my land and see them about 300 yards away. I don't think I've ever smelled them. If I did, same answer as above. I don't care what someone hunts or how many as long as it's not on my land, without permission. That's their business, not mine. Quote HistoryQuoted:

What is it that you people say? "Bless your heart"?
I see your point though. My ex-wife's lesbian, raging commie aunt moved there with her obscene 6 figure CA pension. Wouldn't you want me to totally offset her? I do have a mild drawl from being raised and taught to speak by grandparents that were from Oklahoma and North Texas. Doesn't that count for something? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Full of what? Oh I get it! You're clever!
Tell me where you live and if I go there I'll make sure to be as far away as possible. While I'm as conservative as they come 99% of the time, I don't want to be near too many people that refuse to use what little percentage of the brain is actually available to us. It's... limiting.

My fiance's father (career AF, B-52 pilot and AC commander and later flight instructor) lives there. He's got a beautiful parcel overlooking the area. What he paid for 5000 sq. feet of stonework and masonry house was mind-bogglingly low. Where I'm at it would have been 2-2.5M. However, I think it's good practice not to be too close to fathers, mothers, FIL's, MIL's.

Already there. My current favorite thing about it (other than freedom, guns, nature, high desert, and cheap land) is the fireworks store at the Walker River Indian Reservation. It's especially awesome around the 4th. It's a few hours away but almost worth living in NV just for that!
