I keep hearing people wanting to move from their current state.   Can we get a running list of what's good and bad about each particular state from residents of said state.  I'll start for Michigan.


Good:
-Pro-gun attorney general in Mike Cox
-Gun laws are pretty good (hi-caps allowed, CCW allowed)
-Great hunting and fishing
-Detroit Redwings
-Plenty of outdoor recreation during all seasons
-Casinos
-Great Lakes and the Mackinac Bridge
-70 mph speed limit on interstates




Bad:
-Liberal Governor that panders to Unions and welfare recipients
-Reliance upon blue collar industries that are quickly disappearing
-Horrible job market/economy
-Bitter cold at times in winter
-Fireworks...all the good ones are illegal
-No death penalty
-Detroit Lions
-US Senator Carl Levin (democrat) is from this state

Dislike influx of snowbirds and tourists.

Although I tolerate the tourists, who pay hotel and rental car taxes, thus no state income tax.

Dislike:

No Open Carry
NFA is illegal! Registration is only a defense to prosecution.

All the border counties.
All the counties with big cities
Most of the eastern counties.
No Fault Divorce
No college campus carry.

And the big one - a restaurant won't serve me a pitcher of beer when I'm alone. But they will serve me and a buddy two pitchers.

Good:
Summer weather
General seasons (no draw) for Elk, Deer and Bear - not statewide
Cheese
NFA friendly state

Bad:
Hippies & Flakes dominate state politics

Really?

I was in OH (Columbus) for the first time a few weeks ago and was surprised how well mannered the drivers were.

Here, you either have a huge Hummer 6 inches off your back bumper while doing 70 mph or two little old ladies driving side by side doing 45 on the highyway with a mile long line of traffic behind them.

What do I like?

Nothing about it!

What do I dislike?

Too many pansy looking/ acting "men".

Taxes are absolutey insane.  40% on income and 17.5% VAT (value added tax) on purchases.
The pacifist way of life (if you are robbed or attacked you really are encouraged no to fight/ just play dead.)  Fuck that.
Can't own any cool guns.

Not to mention we have more micro breweries here than anywhere else in the world (Cascade Lakes FTW), and Pendleton Whiskey.
