I'm still on my terminal leave (until around mid-July), and I haven't decided what I want to do after that.
NRA has a few positions available for people with a BA in Political Science (the position is "Legislative Aid"), and already expressed interest in my file for some higher positions.
My question is: how is the area (Fairfax) to live? I would be willing to commute (up to 1.5 hours) to NOT live in and raise my family in a liberal, crime-infested cesspool.
I already know about the ok class III and shall-issue CCW laws (although no reciprocity with FL) and some open carry, etc., and I like that already. I've done some research here already, and most of you rated VA as a solid 9 out of 10 for gun issues.
What I want to know is: 1) can I work at NRA in Fairfax and still have my home in a nice area, and not drive more than 1.5 hours? 2) is the cost of living up there any higher than suburban FL? 3) where should I [b]NOT[/b] even both to look for a nice home? 4) any other advice on moving and making the adjustment from FL to VA?
PS- I didn't post this on hometown because I wanted advice from VA residents, as well as folks who have lived in both states, and I did not want to make duplicate posts in the FL and VA boards.
