Well California, it was a good run!

Not that it matters,but good bye California. After being born and raised in the central valley I am now officially a Washington state resident. Went to a couple gun shops up here and got excited looking at all that's available. One shop pulled out a Springfield box and asked me if I have ever seen this "Not legal in California" sticker. I said yes and he asked why. I told him and he just shook his head.

Most Californians suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. I see it all the time.

You made a smart move.

Get out while you can before the masses realize that we're all living in one big Ponzi scheme here and make a stampede out of the state. 5 years and counting....

[SonofWWIIDI]

Good for you. I've still got 10+ years before I can but out to a free state. Already considering property to purchase between now and then.

Good luck!

Ever hear of Washington state Initiative 594? If this thing passes you'll wish you were back in California. Well, maybe not California, but anywhere else but Washington state.

Some of us are feeling abandoned. Thanks for not fighting the good fight and running.

Congrats man! We are 4 weeks away from our move. So excited!

In a few more years there will be enough ex-Californians there to convert it to us. Then it will be California without sunshine.

Good luck

There is plenty of sunshine and WA is a beautiful state. They also have one thing CA doesn't have: WATER.

OP,

Welcome to Washington, you're going to like it here. I did 31 years in California on my second stay (in addition to 22 on my first). I was N/B on the 5 Freeway within minutes of my retirement.

There's plenty of sun in this state. You can surf and ski on the same day, and without driving as far as you would have to in California.

The folks on the western side of the state can be a little nutso politically (like California), but unlike California, we have a very large population, mostly east of the Cascade Mountains that keeps them in check.

OP dont mind the hate. Im moving to NV and man Ive been hearing it from guys on here. It seems SOME not all hate the fact that they are stuck here.

It was very hard for us to make a move. We have family ect here. But we had to put the future of our daughter first. Good luck your doing the right thing. Its a losing battle here. Gun owners cant even seem to get a long.

I envy you man, I really do. Good luck and enjoy living your life in free America.

You can fight the good fight outside of enemy lines. Can keep the cancer from spreading.

Plus, I'm sure some people want to enjoy freedom in their lifetime. Win-win.
