    Yeah. I had lots of reasons too. I even sent a few of them to AFPC. The sent me back a big middle finger.

    The California disease is spreading to all the western states.


    Sadly, I agree with you

    Visited CA in my youth a couple times... That was more than enough. No need to ever go there again, much less stay. Besides, we're on track to be CA-Part 2 here.

    Left my parents and inlaws there. Still no desire to go back, they can fly or drive here to visit if need be.

    The whole excuse by CA folks that "I can't leave because all my family and my wife's family is here" is pathetic.

    We are happy to have the both of you.

    I had always hoped in the CA mass migration we got some Conservative gun owners in the mix. We just didn't get enough!

    Not entirely true. Colorado is getting more of a Commiepornia feel in general but Colorado Springs is somewhat of a hold-out (albeit backsliding).

    The easy passage of a 1% sales tax increase to fund road maintenance was somewhat of a danger signal to me. I don't really care about 1% of anything but the way TPTB fought automatic sunsetting was a warning sign. It they were serious about it being a temporary bump to get past some needed maintenance now, they wouldn't have had a problem with the tax increase automatically sunsetting in 5-10 years with provision to renew. Instead, they wrote it to automatically renew unless specifically revoked.

    OTOH, folks down in C Springs are still generally more resistive against encroaching government than up in the Denver area.

I know that was one of the few things I missed about being stationed in San Diego when I moved to Norfolk, VA.

    Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office (which is well known for not issuing any CCW permits, among other anti-Liberty things) have a local reputation of pulling people over and then fabricating a probable cause and finding some bullshit thing to write you up for, just to keep the revenue flowing. These are the guys that give the rest of law enforcement a bad name.
    Kinda true... I got pulled over in SoCal with an acquaintance while we were motorcycling (sportbikes, at about 20mph > the limit) and my acquaintance adopted the tough-guy-F-cops attitude, I adoped the "yes, sir!" polite attitude. Acquaintance got the $300 ticket, I got off with a warning. The cop hadn't even talked to us separately.

    Honey Basher lived in Colorado Springs, so I had to use that city for the joke to work.

    Fail. Colorado Springs is definitely a Conservative and Christian holdout.

    I remember when I used to laugh at California for having mag limits...now we're there. In a not too distant future, it'll be "More Colorado Bullsh**".
