Happy New Year, and an update, and a question

[OeldeWolf]

Hello, Everyone. And Happy New Year!

I have been gone for a while, cleaning up a mess. But I hope top be back for good.

Last you knew, I was engaged and the lady seemed supportive of my little hobby. Since then I did a lot of work on the house with her income helping out. But ...

But it turned out what she really wanted was to steal my house. After she had pushed me into near collapse with getting the house repairs done (she did not want to steal a house that needed repairs), she got to where she could not keep up her act. So she broke up with me, and squatted till I got ready to file eviction papers.

It also turned out she filed complaints with the Sheriff's Dept, accusing me of a number of heinous crimes. Then called the detective in charge of investigating me three times a week, urging him to break down my door, haul me off, and leave her in the house.

That is done, the DA said there was nothing to charge me with, and I am clear of those legal issues. whew!

I think I have finally reached an end of finding yet more things she stole or destroyed as she left the house. The last things were one of my wood chisels, and about $200 worth of model enamels.

But the increase in the house bills, from the repairs, are more than I can handle. I am going to have to sell the house.

Can anyone tell me of any states in the eastern time zone which are firearm friendly? I know Vermont is good, but it is awfully cold. And Virginia... no. I hear Florida recently passed some anti firearms bills?

Sorry to hear of your problems.

Ky is pretty good. We went constitutional carry last year. Open carry was legal without a license before that and CC with a license. No registration of long or handguns. Private sales are legal.

[OeldeWolf]

Thank you. I even have some relatives there. I will put it in the list of possibles.

[Rcmaveric]

Florida is where I live and Tennessee is where I vacation to see family.

Both are very fire arm friendly. Florida raised the age to buy long guns which annoyed me. But other than that there aren't many restrictions that overly combersom. We are pushing for a constitutional carry. Been fighting for it a couple yeara.

While I was visiting my brother I TN almost bought a single shot 20g, and the guy said it was legal. You dont even need to be a resident of TN to buy long guns.

Thank you.

[merlin101]

Forget about Vt. they are hanging on by thread as far as the 2nd goes, Pa is not far from being like the rest of the NE anti gun zone.
I really don't know much about Tn and Ky but I believe I'm going to end up down there somewhere. Good luck in your search and keep us up to date with what you find.

[abunaitoo]

Tennessee.
Friend just moved there.
Is having the time of his life.

I was a certified firearms and CCDW instructor in the state of KY if you have any questions to that regard. One of the things I value is being able to disregard the no firearms sign at the hospital or a store. If I'm caught, I won't be in any legal trouble.

Tennessee, I would check those particulars. And unless they changed it, there is no carrying of handguns without a license, neigther open or concealed.

Also, I was told you couldn't transport a long gun loaded. I had a rifle, unloaded but with loaded mags in the same case and told that would get us in trouble there. That may not have been the case or it may have changed.

[jcren]

Oklahoma is freedom friendly. Kinda like Texas, but not so many sucky liberals. More meth and weather, but fewer lefties!

[MrWolf]

I like West Virginia which is why I moved here three years ago. Basically if it is legal with the Feds it is legal here. Constitutional carry and can get WV CCW with an approved NRA live fire pistol course. I don't know the other areas of the state but I have 81 acres, 4 bed and 2 bath , 32x30 garage and a shed. Property taxes were about $1,060 last year. Add another $500 or less for personal property taxes. Good luck.

[jdfoxinc]

Got a spare bedroom for rent?

[OeldeWolf]

Thank you, gentlemen.

I had not heard anything about WV before, so that is new information.

I have one spare bedroom already rented out to a Sect 8 person, annoying, but it pays a bit. The other spare had to kick the person out for failing to pay rent. I have had trouble getting people who will actually pay their rent, or who do not have felonies. I can not seem to keep both bedrooms rented at the same time. And renting the second bedroom would let me survive, but barely.

[lightman]

Sorry to hear about your problems. Arkansas ain't bad. Cost of living isn't too high, is fairly firearms friendly and has decent weather.

I'd like to tell you that Pa is a great place especially the northern tier and south westerner partawhere in at but I'd vote for West Virginia also

[snowwolfe]

We moved to Tennessee over 4 years ago. Will never move out. The advantages this state offers is immense. Some of my relatives have started to trickle down from PA and I sense more will follow due to our lack of taxes and no toll roads and low housing prices.

How do you feel about winter? Maine is pretty firearms friendly, and very low crime rates. Also very low unemployment rates. You may be able to sell your house in CA and buy two here, as long as you stay north of Augusta. But we do have winter. North of Augusta, where property is reasonable, you'd be dealing with snow 6 months out of the year.

[trebor44]

GO East and leave your troubles behind!

[Idaho45guy]

I hear Arkansas is nice, cheap, and gun friendly now that the Clintons are gone...

[Geezer in NH]

NH and Maine are constitutional carry. NH no income and no sales tax Maine has both.

NH has 2 liberal female Senators 1 gay congressman and one lib female congressman.

Great Republican Governor We hope to change the congress creatures this coming election

[Wayne Smith]

I've posted this before, but Virginia has a Constitution that predates the US Constitution, has an original gun clause that has not been changed or challenged or commented on since it was written, and has laws on the books that I am required to own a firelock, carry it to the fields when working, and ensure that there is a sentry, and carry it to Church on Sunday for the Militia meeting. These laws place that original constitutional statement clearly in the context of personal safety beyond the Militia. If a law that conflicts with this is passed you can bet it will be challenged and there will be an injunction preventing enforcement until the courts act. As long as Judges read the Constitution...

[OeldeWolf]

Thank you all very much.

With the current hullabaloo in VA I had not really considered it. But I do remember about their old constitution. As I recall, it used to be that if you did not own a firearm, you had to pay a tax.

West Virginia sounds interesting as well. I am asking the SO to look in to them as regards her business.

Thank you all for the information. She and I will talk it over. Right now, she says either New York or W Palm Beach have the clientele she is looking at. And NYC is just Not an option, lol. :)

So wait, you were engaged to a crazy woman who tried to steal your house, and now you are with a woman whose business is going to dictate that you live in either New York City or Palm Beach Florida?

Have you tried being single and doing what YOU want to do with your life? It truly is liberating.

My dad is in his 70's, Just divorced his third wife, and already has another girlfriend he is spending money on and preparing to marry. It's all very silly looking at it from a distance.

Those who do not learn from their mistakes----are doomed to repeat them! I got it right on the second try.

[OeldeWolf]

Actually, I got rid of the crazy two years ago. So I have been single all that while. The woman I am currently talking with and I have not yet formalized things.

As for her business dictating location, I am on social security and she is currently making up to 10k per month. As long as it is not against my rights, I am willing to consider places which work for her. :)

Moving out of state is definitely in my future, no matter what. CA is just to expensive for my income, and the nutty laws are just too much. I keep waiting for them to figure out a way to take all the legal guns away. I know they really really want to.

So I am searching and researching. Trying to do this before I am in desperate need. I try and look ahead, and plan things out. I want to move, not have to bug out.

[OeldeWolf]

Well, shoot.

I just got some info on some of the 1200 new laws that took effect here in CA on Jan 1st. Can we say What The Heck? Reads like a recipe for complete destruction of the state. Not just nonsense gun laws, either.

Water restrictions, free health for all illegals, outlawing independent contractors, massive boost to the minimum wage with increased obligations for employee health care, and rising prices for the same. And that is not even one percent of the laws passed, and they are already predicting the new laws will put between 50% and 85% of all small businesses in the state out of business. And our idiot governor was grinning like, well, like an idiot.

Long and short of it, I will be working on the house so I can sell it, and moving. So I am going to be looking at each recommendation very hard. I have to land somewhere, after all.

[CLAYPOOL]

WELL you think you have it bad NOW, Just move to ILLINOIS...

[justashooter]

VA is going downhill fast with the new dem government. PA is still safe other than near philly or pittsburg. i am south of harrisburg in farm country, and they call PA the oreo cookie of the east. dems on both sides and republicans in the middle telling them both to pound sand

[gordie]

Ga. ain't bad, stay at least 50 miles from Atlanta, easy to get to Tn. or Fl.

[OeldeWolf]

Those are good ideas, all. And the list that Illinois is on is titled "no way in heck" :) On the same list are New York, California, NJ.

Well, the woman put me in the friend zone, but I still have to get the heck out of here before it collapses. Currently, I should have enough from selling the house to be able to move and buy there.

[MrWolf]

Think it's best. Cover your own needs and have a place you are comfortable with. Think once you have that the relationships will be easier. Good luck.

[Half Dog]

It seems many people are moving here (Texas) from California. We could use more conservatives.

[Idaho45guy]

Leftism is growing more powerful everywhere, it seems. Just in the past five years since I bought a house in Washington state, the gun laws went from great to horrible.

I thought I would make a stand since I like my house and my small town, but they just announced even more oppressive laws in the past few weeks.

I hate moving. I'm not going to find a house and property of this size and quality in Idaho within 20 miles of work.

What do you do? Stay put and become a criminal just because I like AR-15s and semi-auto handguns with more than 10 rounds? Or move a few miles and give up a place and neighborhood I like?

[OeldeWolf]

I have a realtor and her mentor, who stages houses, coming over tomorrow morning. I know the colors on the inside will have to be changed. I am starting to pack up things, and push a couple of projects to completion, as I do not really need to move raw materials.

The liberal scourge is actually the socialist scourge. There has never been a successful socialist country or state.
