My thoughts after escaping Hellifornia one year ago...

Maybe he has two properties? But, he also lives in Avimor. I see him get his mail. My original point in mentioning this in the first place was to say that squared away gun people live in Idaho / Treasure Valley. You will be hard pressed to find a more pro-gun area than Idaho! Every single person on my street shoots. We go out as a neighborhood and shoot. We tell each other about the new guns we buy.

It is like heaven.

I did some satellite imagery sleuthing when he moved out to the ranch. Or bought the ranch, I should say. Looks like a canyon north of Emmett. He moved out there as soon as they passed the AWB in Washington, can't blame him.

Sept. 1, 2022 we packed the camper trailer and started the drive to our new home on 70 acres in Kentucky. Two months later we were hunting deer, coyotes and squirrels on our property. (KY requires 30 days to become residents for hunting and fishing licenses). The second day here, I holstered a 40 and went shopping at Walmart.

Last year I walked into a gun store and 20 minutes later walked out with a new gun.

That's my part of town, so I'm very familiar with it. How much north are we talking? Is it still IN Emmett?

Not in the city limits. I guess I should have bookmarked it, because now I don't remember exactly. I think I found some of the buildings from YouTube videos. Maybe up by Seven Springs Ranch? I just thought it was cool, since my daughter is in Emmett.

Sounds awesome, except all the socializing with neighbors part. I don't like neighbors feeling they can just drop by.

Glad you are happier. Based on what I hear only specific kinda people are tolerated, if you're not white and christian... Idaho is a problem.
Also, I thought it was funny that in one convo you talk about govt not hating you and then how strict law enforcement is ;-)

Worth reading.......

I am going to join stakill in rejecting your comment about it being a problem if you are not white and Christian in Idaho. While we are white, I have no idea if stakill is a Christian. That never came up when we met. What I can say is that we are gun people and if you are anti 2A, which I assume that you are not because you are on this forum, that is a BIG PROBLEM! So, being a Democrat is also a big problem for me. They can stay the hell out of Idaho!

Edit I did not see CessnaDriver's post when I replied. But his post is more evidence that you are incorrect and that what makes the most difference in Idaho is holding conservative values. So again, libtards stay out!

Sad that they moved this. This should have stayed in the OT for encouragement to those who don't know what is outside of California.
I am sure many haters who hate to see the joy outside of California complained about the thread

[calgns3]

I am 62 years old. I lived my entire life in CA. One year ago, I moved to Idaho. Hands down, it was the best decision of my life. I can't tell you how much happier I am. I finally live in a place where my government does not hate me.

Of course, the gun situation is day and night. No CCW necessary. Carry what you want, where you want. Buy ammo online or at the store and take it to the counter yourself. Buy any handgun you want and walk out with it in 20 minutes. Take the ridiculous fins and muzzlebrakes off your AR15s. I just bought a suppessor. Every single person on my street owns guns and shoots. We get together as a neighborhood and everyone talks guns, even the wives. Garandthumb lives just up the street from me. I can literally go shooting across the street. The state sponsors shooting ranges. They want you to shoot. Also, I have never seen so many gunstores in one area in all my life. I can think of 15 just off the top of my head. I used to belong to a great shooting range (West End Gun Club). It was about $340ish a year. My current club is $45. That is practically free. Instead of battling the 91 and 15 freeways for 1-2 hours, I drive along the Payette River for 40 minutes. I don't even go the speed limit it is so beautiful. Why rush?

But, it is not just the guns that are better. I told my wife when we first got here, "We didn't move to Idaho, we moved to 1950." People here are decent. There is no homeless. Actually, I saw one bum / homeless (I hate that term). The cops made her move. People let you in when you drive. No one honks at you. I have not honked once in an entire year. I drive down the street in my neighborhood, and people wave at me. It freaked me out at first. Now, I do it too. People here seem happy. If you go 5 mph over the speed limit, a sheriff will pull you over. Laws are not just a suggestion here. There is no graffiti. Almost everthing here is less expensive, except food (its the same). Gas is over a $1 a gallon cheaper. My auto insurance decreased by over 50%, my electricity bill is 1/4 of what it was before. When they told me my property tax and home insurance cost, I just giggled. It is thousands of dollars less expensive.

If you are tired of being targeted by the communists in Lucifornia, I highly recommend escaping. Life is short. Throughout history, people have fled evil regimes for freedom and lived happier lives.

If you decide to come here, vote RED. Actually, please vote dark red, burgundy maroon so we keep it that way.

Thank you so very much for sharing. I have been working on my move out of California for some time now. My vote will always be extra dark red for sure, wherever I go! ???????

[calgns3]

If you move to a free state, it's not enough to just vote red. You have to actively participate in politics from volunteering for the Republican party, to monitoring vote counts, and attending all city council meetings and county supervisor meetings. Because we that have moved from communism have to actively prevent what happened in Kalifornia from happening in our new community. We lost Kalifornia because we just voted instead of actively participating. The left actively participates. That's how they win.

Words of wisdom, indeed!

Love your quote, best I've seen on this site: "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!" - Senator Barry Goldwater

The locals here despise CA and everything it represents. People race to get their CA license plates off their cars as fast as they can when they make the move. I get it. CA is a disease.

The other day at a stop light, it turned green and the guy ahead of me didn't go. My old CA self would have hit the horn. I didn't do that. I just sat there. He finally went. Around here, you just cut the next guy a little more slack. It is contagious.

CA and everything it represents is indeed a disease. We really need to give it our best efforts so as to prevent it from infecting the rest of the nation.

I just got my election worker assignments for our FL primary next month. It only pays $250 for a 13 hour day but being an photo ID checker reminds me of how things should be and aren't in CA. I'm also going to start working as a substitute teacher in the county jr and sr high schools next month and pay is about the same but shorter hours. I'm hoping I can influence the teenagers with some real life lessons beyond math and science.

Thank you for your valuable contributions to a just cause.

How disgusting... I see the outcomes of that type of mentality as incentives to actually becoming a gang member and a drug addict. Sort of like when a mother rewards her child when it cries...it only teaches the child to cry even more when it wants a reward. That way, giving it privileged status, they are actually encouraging crime, not discouraging it. Welcome to California!

[calgns3]

I saw 0 degrees on my 4Runner temperature gauge for the first time ever. I also shoveled my first driveway this year. It really is no big deal. I would do it barefooted in my underwear rather than live in Kali. The weather is a non-issue for me. I actually like it.

I'll trade freedom for weather any day.

I totally agree with all of the above. Cheers!
