I know it isn't New York . . . what do you all think? My vote is Nevada, although the Silver State too has begun to slide down a slipperly slope.

The downside is that many Kalifornia socialists have moved here in the last 20-30 years, and they're trying to re-engineer the society.

Alaska would be a good choice. Don't be blinded by Vermont's CCW lenience; in many other ways it marches to the same drumbeat as Boston (again because of the squatter influx): high taxes and liberal politics - don't forget Howard the Duck Dean was elected there - and their Congressman for decades has been the only (openly) Socialist in Federal office - Bernie Saunders. I don't know enough to be sure, but I believe Idaho should be high on the list. But perhaps clouder and DWS would like to keep those matters quiet so they don't get swamped with immigrants! Wish we'd kept NH a secret! [:(!]

...The only problem with NH is the damn squatters moving in from the lower (in all ways) New England states...NH is the most free at the moment, but I question how long it will stay this way....big part of the reason I'm moving . . . and the entire reason I'm leaving NH . . . my wife has only been in the country for six years and she already hates the Massholians so much she refused to move into southern NH where they are thickest.
Hmm. That's one big reason I left L.A. 13 years ago, except there the Massholians were called other things... [;)]
Interesting tip about Wyoming. Maybe if all of us get forced out of our present circumstances we can go there and start a long country road with lots of acreage between properties, subsist off Internet businesses and have shooting parties on Saturdays or something. [:D]

You live in a different part of North Dakota than me!! Crime rate is one of the lowest in the Nation, taxes are lower than most other states, there is plenty of game yet (I saw that Mule deer picture), I can carry concealed with a permit that is easy to get, I can carry open, I know of NO police brutality cases that have come to Court (I know lots of cops and that includes BIA officers), etc. You must have had some personal bad experiences that brought you to that conclusion. Think it would be better anywhere else? Nope.
My vote is not a state of the Union, but a state of your mind. You are as free as you allow yourself to be.

boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the

character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of
your walks." Thomas Jefferson
You know these Pheasant Phreaks are bringing up the land prices so You and I have a harder time getting cheap land to hunt. I was looking after are interest and you go and spill the beans. I say we allow Pabooger in (word has it he can't hit nothin) and make the rest go around.[:D]

Texas is pretty close to the top of the list, and has better weather than most of the other choices. That's why I'm here![8D]

Heck 30 below with a 45 mph wind chill isn't going to stop this old Texas boy who has become accustomed to the harsh Northern NY weather from chasing them there funny looking Chinese birds. When dose the season start?[:D]

Shall issue CCW, LEO's sign off on C3 while you wait. Cheap homes,land, state owned low cost hunting preserves,reasonable taxes.
Draw backs, low wages, high unemployment outside of the urban areas around 6-8%, alot of "good ol boy" politics in the rural areas (Aka Little Dixie).
The metro areas have the liberials and try to rule, or force legislation on the rural areas. But the rural "Lil Dixie Boys" pull alot of weight.
Example: Metro area passes legislation outlawing Cock Fighting, so the Dixie Boys dump their chickens out at the governors mansion. That law is not being enforced.
