MOVE! NOW!!!!!
Good, now that that is settled we can focus on the details. I moved my family a year and a half ago from LA and we have not regretted it for a moment. Our situation is a little different as we had spent a lot of time in Vegas over the years. My wife is from So. Utah and I from LA so Vegas was always a meeting spot and we already had some family living here. California is just unlivable now. On every level it is a state that has become a parasite living off the blood of those who live there. Economically, socially, politically, all across the board, people's freedoms are under attack in California. I have said before that firearms laws was not the only reason for moving to Nevada but it is in the top 5! Las Vegas in particular is a thriving city. There is a sense of community here that goes beyond the shooting community. Problems are addressed and people take things seriously in my experience. In terms of quality of living, Vegas is second to none. There is so much to do here you can't believe it sometimes. On the subject of jobs, that depends. What do you do? Are you flexible? Depending on you answers, finding work can be as difficult or as easy as anywhere else. If you wanted to work as a local route driver for a wholesale distributor, I could get you an interview tomorrow. If you are an accountant, I could get you an interview(s) tomorrow. If you have 3 DUI's on your record and cant add, then you are on your own! It all depends on the package. I will say this about Vegas and the job market, if you are good at what you do, whatever it is, you should not have too many problems. Good people are hard to find and employers know it.
As for the shooting? It is great! Great people and lots of opportunities to get together. If you are planning to come out to check us out, Let us know the dates and I am sure you will have 5 offers to meet up with you and play with our toys. Your first offer is from me. If you want to discuss particulars of anything I have said just IMail me and we will talk. Good Luck!
