    I Give Up

    First and foremost, I'd like to state that I love this site and it's amazing community. I've been able to find so much useful information here and everyone has been so helpful. You are all awesome!

    With that being said, with the passing of recent laws, I decided to approach my company about relocating. I work for a logistics company as an IT Administrator. We have multiple locations and had 3 IT positions open in 3 locations.

    After much discussion with the wife, we settled on Ohio. The cost of living is considerably less, my wife is able to transfer to another hospital in the area (RN) and the gun laws are FAR better.

    I put in a proposal to relocate and fill the Ohio position that has been vacant for 3 months. I just got word back from the VPs that it was accepted and I can begin ASAP. However, we're scheduling it for January.

    I am both nervous and excited to be starting a new chapter in my life. Part of me wants to stay and fight the good fight here in CA. But I don't ever see it changing. As a 2A advocate in CA, I feel like Sisyphus (greek mythology guy pushing the rolling boulder uphill). Constantly fighting for rights, but never seeing results.

    Aside from the financial benefits of relocating to Ohio, I feel like I just unlocked new items in a game!
    • NFA Items Unlocked!
    • New Pistols Available!
    • Conceal Carry Available!
    • Open Carry Skill Learned!


    I'm just stoked and wanted to let someone know. I'll still be hanging around here. But I'll be able to post cool stuff in the photo threads! Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Been nice having you.

    I'd do the same if I had the option, and am seriously considering taking a major cut in my pension to "retire" early, move to a free state, and just go back to the original retirement plans of "work at Home Depot until I die"

    As soon as the market swings and my condo is worth more than I owe, we're outta' here.

      Congratulations on the new job in a free state. Can't blame you for wanting to leave.

            Congratulations on having the courage to leave the socialist sh*thole that Commifornia has become. To my mind, staying and "fighting the good fight" is akin to dying heroically at the Alamo. It sounds real good, but you still wind up getting plowed under.

            I think it is FAR better to move to a state that isn't as totally screwed up as the PRC and work to keep it free rather than continue to give your tax money to those that want to make you a serf.

                  Congrats. Make sure don't don't bring even the slightest bit of ca. mentality with you. There should be some type of quarantine.

                  Some good states are getting polluted.

                  Not personal, just a general fyi thought for those reading.

                    Good luck in Ohio! I too hope to move out of California within the next 14 months. Be safe.

                      Awwwwww, are you afraid of having to put a coat on? Does the idea of a bit of discomfort vs more personal freedom, cheaper housing, cheaper fuel, and lower cost of living make you scared?

                      If so, have fun being warm in the PRC.

                        Voting with your feet...good for you! One of the many reasons this is the greatest country on earth. Take your taxes, hard work, productivity and countless other contributions you make as a functioning member of society to a state that deserves them. This one hasn't deserved ours for a long time. I will fight while I'm here, but look forward to the time when I can follow your lead. Best wishes.

                          Man Ohio, big big whitetail deer. Please make sure you get out and hunt there.
                          Congrats on the transfer, it's nerve racking and stressful, but in the end you'll be glad you did it.

                              Congratulations, OP. You will be far happier as a gun owner in that state. In the mean time, I have to tell you our Legislature is going to the Olympics as a team. They're going to compete in the first, International, Stupid Contest. I think they'll be gold medalists.
