I'm another one in a rural red county, this state really needs to be split in half along Interstate 5. Everything west is looney, most of the places east are still sane.
Sorry man
Keep trying to convince yourself.
Eh, calculus is different for everyone. Parts of this state are certainly a hellhole and I avoid them at all costs. My area is just fine, and I can leave my house and be in the duck blind in 30 minutes. That's a trade I'll continue to make for now.
Fair enough. Maybe one day California will change courses but it’s unlikely. Don’t they limit how much ammo you can buy?
Nope, and the 1-in-30 law just got struck down for good a few weeks ago. We undoubtedly have some ridiculous laws about magazine capacity, the handgun roster, and maglocked ARs but there are workarounds for just about everything. We'll never have suppressors here, but we can have AR pistols. The 2A argument for leaving CA has never made sense to me, but apparently it does for some and that's just fine.
The 2a thing has never been a reason for me hating California. The general disdain the government has for hard workers, over taxation, pandering to the homeless and just the general low quality of the people there is what keeps me away. I know there’s some good people there but I haven’t encountered them on my visits.
Dont forget the almost 100% necessity to own land or have a hunting lease in some of the areas you mentioned. Public land ain't much of a thing in the southeast. This isn't saying there's zero, but compared to the western states it's a big difference.
