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 |

Illinois.
It umm, I... ummm. No wait, it really has a...... Nope. Nothing. It sucks here. efxguy |
|
|
pros;
decent gun laws low cost of living nice people great catfish next to alabama so I don't have far to drive to see the Tide play cons: the fact that it is still governed by DC j/k kinda |
|
Like: Almost everything. Good people, great scenery, great gun laws.
Dislike: Most of SLC. High taxes. And, while not a problem for me, I hear our liquor laws are really screwed up. |
|
California:
Likes: Weather Scenery Women Dislikes: Run by libtards Taxes Gun laws |
|
Good:
Acceptable Gun Laws Landscape (lived here my whole life and still find sunset in the desert 'jawdropping') Bad: Immigrants The f**kin' heat EDIT: @skillshot no open carry in Texas? I had no idea, and in Texas of all places, I always assumed you guys had it 'better' when it came to gun laws. |

Can't buy beer on Sunday but I can go to a bar and drink myself drunk and drive hime.

PRO's:
TONS of BLM land to shoot on World class skiing World class mountain biking great fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, etc. GREAT weather GREAT gun laws Beautiful scenery Nice people Low cost of living 75mph speed limit on I70 CON's: Being 2500+ miles away from my family. PITA to travel out of here. With that said, we're considering move back east to be closer to family. |

I've only lived here about 3.5 years, so I may not be the best judge of all the issues involved. That said, my impression of the Oregon coast:
Good: Summer weather General seasons (no draw) for Elk, Deer and Bear - not statewide Cheese NFA friendly state Bad: Hippies & Flakes dominate state politics Can/Bottle Tax aka Deposit 100% Full Serve Gas |
|
Quoted:
Good: Pro Gun Laws Hot Southern Women Hunting Bad: Memphis I'll second that. |

Quoted:
Nobody with an Ohio license plate can drive worth a fuck 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. |
|
Queensland.
- great weather, beaches, outback. - so large you can get lost really easy - hot hot womenz - lots and lots of roos and pigs to shoot. - terrible gun laws - but still legal to own pistols and bolt action rifles - can get very hot |
|
Pros - all good except for....
cons - crappy pizza, crappy bagels, horrendous traffic, lack of public transportation with no plan for the future because the people who vote no to public transportation but yes for a football stadium are fucking morons. |
|
Pros:
Lifetime LTC permits. Open or concealed, doesn't matter as long as you have your LTC. NFA OK, mostly, will explain in "cons". OK football team. Damn good Governor. Cons: Next to IL. Shitty basketball team. Can't have SBS's. |

Likes;
148 acre plot where the range is located summer/fall/spring weather my neighbors ( I probably would have sold the house a few years ago, but I have a great bunch of neighbors) still generally pretty pro-gun Dislikes; Ed Rendell Philthydelphia The influx of new jersey/new york libtards that moved into the very rural eastern counties of pa ("to get out of the city") and brought the fucking city with them and imposed it on the folks that grew up out there Ed Rendell NEPA Chronyism Ed Rendell NEPA stuckup snobs Ed Rendell Cold winter Ed Rendell |
|
Current "state": Police (i.e. the fucking U.K)
What do I like? Nothing about it! What do I dislike? Too many pansy looking/ acting "men". Can't own any cool guns. 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. |
|
Pros:
MGs, suppressors, and short barreled firearms legal Good cops Southern mentality Plenty of self-reliant folks, just head out to the rural areas. Cons: Good fireworks banned...I make mine No CCW until 21 (in Maine it is 18) Premarital sex illegal...usually not enforced Streetsweepers and USAS-12s banned...even with DD registration. Libtard infiltrators. |

Dislike influx of snowbirds and tourists. Although I tolerate the tourists, who pay hotel and rental car taxes, thus no state income tax. We've got to get the snowbirds and tourists to land somewhere in between, 'cuz we don't want 'em either! Being right in the proposed location no thank you! Pros of MD: If you like being on the water, it's the place to be State sport is jousting which is just bad ass Cons: Pseudo ban on high cap mags (20rds max) May issue CCW The O's keep sucking Can't buy alcohol in the supermarket or gas station |

In no way is the a complete list but here are a few things about Florida
PROS:Some of the best gun laws in the country. Some of the best beachs on the planet. Easy to make money,good business environment. Hooooooooooooooooot chicks all over the place! You can ride your motorcycle all year. CONS:If you have never been in 99 degree weather with 100% humidity and not a cloud in the sky,there is nothing I could type here that would tell you the level of suck that is. My home town is now more than 10 times the size it was when I was born. 35% of the people here aren't Americans and don't ever want to be. |
