    Default It's time for my family to leave Colorado.... Moving to Idaho

    Its time for my family to leave Colorado. I have lived in Colorado for the vast majority of my life. How this state has changed Politically, Legislatively, Socially and Population Density has gotten to what I consider as the point of no return. We are moving to Northern Idaho in the small town of Rathdrum. It sucks to leave Colorado as my wife and I have called it our home for half a century. But our only option at this point is to show our vote of displeasure by taking our $$$ to invest in the community and economy to Idaho. Sometimes voting with your Wallet is the only option left.

    I hope that for my remaining Colorado friends that things will start to turn around for the better. Especially from a 2A Rights encroachment perspective. The current Colorado 2A Rights encroachment trajectory is looking endlessly grim

    Keep up the good fight after others like me have had enough and Tapped Out.

    I stayed in Wallace for a week once. It was very nice. I met a guy that worked in a silver mine and I saw a small gold mining operation in Murray. Good luck in Idaho.

    To the haters:
    Leaving isn't a happy choice but its necessary.
    This isn't the Battle of the Bulge where we can just hold on for reinforcements, it's the 1941 Philippines and the battle is lost. And No, we dont have a McArthur to save us.
    And yes, if you stay here and get "captured," well it wont be pretty.

    CHA-LEE, good luck in Idaho! My wife and I came to the same conclusion a couple of years ago and bought a house a bit east of where you're heading. I think you'll like it, big change from Colorado.

    Who are you showing your displeasure to with this grand gesture?

    You think any leftist is going to miss you or reconsider their position because you ran away?

    Are you generating enough revenue in the state that anyone will miss it as you "vote with you wallet"?

    The only sure way to lose a fight is to run away from it.

    The only sure way to lose a fight is to stay where you're outnumbered. It's why we left 8 yrs ago, so we didn't have to deal with the shit you're getting now.

    As with use of deadly force, a real man knows when to walk away.
    You can stay and worry which of your neighbors, or co-workers, will red flag you, or stopped at the range by some CA fudd who's kid with a 22 is triggered by you shooting more than 1 round per minute, calling in your lic plate to 911.

    But hey at least you stayed .

    Not sure what you mean with all that bullshit. There is no more fight here in CO the liberal leftist have won. Colorado is a solid Democrat state by a huge margin and they will do as they please. You can tell your self otherwise, but you know your lieing to yourself.
    Don't be stupid!!!!!

    Why is it so impossible for you to just say, "Hey, man... Good for you. I wish you well in your new adventure in Idaho,"? Instead you have to be a total dick and just piss on the guy's parade.

    I've said this before to those who accuse others of 'running away'... Those of us who chose to leave weren't running away. We were, and in this case are, running towards a better quality of life, better economic opprotunities, a better political environment and so much more. You make it sound like you're some sort of tireless warrior gallantly defending your way of life. You're not. If the Colorado of today is any indication of how you 'fight' you're doing a really lousy job of it.

    I left 10 years ago and my life improved immensely both in quality and economically. I couldn't be happier to be out of the shithole you're 'fighting' for. Everyone I still maintain contact with in Colorado constantly bitches about how bad it is. Most have family ties that keep them from leaving otherwise they'd have been long gone. So you go ahead and stay to fight a war you lost a long time ago and keep pretending you're more noble than those who left. I'll gladly stay where I am as well and enjoy a life free from nanny-state leftists that want to control everything the residents of the state do.
