We're Done with Colorado

I'd prefer Alaska... no matter what they put on the books, there are unwritten rules there that the State Troopers would not DARE violate... and outside of Anchorage, you can personally know every member of the local police force...

If you prefer mild climate, SE Alaska is like Seattle... if you like hot & dry- then well, I really got nothin...

No one mentioning the State of New Mexico. What are the pros and cons of that State???

hmm- I've never lived there, but driven through it A LOT... couldn't wait to get out of it.
it's also the bluest state between Cali and the Mississippi.

I've had some scary interactions when just stopping for gas in the past...

someone told me Utah is a great place but after bought a house 2 months ago very difficult for me get out.

PD; maybe you can try Venezuela now without chavez lol

Historically true, but I think the dems are pushing hard to give this state that title. Its really too bad as I really like Santa Fe, except for the wall-to-wall libs

Oklahoma?

Texas is going to be the lefts next big target (they currently have schemes in motion there), if we don't stop them here in Colorado we'll have to stop them there and it will be harder.

Honestly I believe Texas will be where we are now by 2016 regardless of what happens here in CO.

If you want to run away, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho are probably the only places where you're going to be safe from the left for any extended amount of time (and even then if we don't stop them very soon we'll be at war before the end of the decade ... or worse we'll all be slaves of a global Marxist dictatorship).

I guess my point is you're going to have to fight them here and now, or there and then.

+1 I have in laws in Texas. They moved from Corpus to an Austin suburb. It's Kalifonia-ish. Dallas is turning blue, And Houston is the only place I have been with barbed wire and chainlink in the front yard,

See ya. We will be here fighting if you need us. Once Obama grants all the illegal immigrants citizenship say good bye to Texas.

He is right...if we dont fight the progressive statist aganda on all fronts...we will run and run and run, untill there is no where left to run to...fight or die..pick one....

Or it could be that those of us who are like-minded join other states who are of the same ideals to solidify our stance. This is how the Republic was intended as far as states making differing laws from other states. I will however admit that they NEVER had the 2nd amendment in mind as far as things that would be restricted and I really don't see how they could have made that any more clear. That being said, in the spirit of the Republic we also are considering a move out-of-state. I moved here from Nebraska in the mid 90's so that's a state near the top of our list. Texas is nice but too hot/humid for me although my wife would be fine with it. Wyoming would also be a consideration due to distance to current home, work and family here and in Nebraska. Wyoming & Texas both share the lack of state income tax which is a bonus. Arizona also has some family but the heat and immigration problem aren't really something I'm wanting to voluntarily move into. Not really sure what we're going to do but I don't see choosing to live in another state as being a coward or taking the easy way out. Sometimes the right choice is also the easier choice. Not always.... but sometimes.

Was I a coward when I chose to leave Nebraska to move to Colorado because, at the time, the state offered more in the way of my personal ideals? So how is it different if I choose to leave now?

I agree with you on this, Jer. But there are a few asshats right on this forum who are really quick to ridicule others as cowards or quitters who simply want a better life elsewhere. I think they often speak without putting their brain in gear first.

Funny, though. I haven't seen them publicly ridicule MagPul for choosing to leave for a more politically friendly state if the anti-gun legislation passes. For some reason the MagPul people are heroes for saying they'll leave but others are cowards for saying the same thing. How does that work? Frankly, I agree with MagPul. But I don't see it as any different if an individual decides to take their business, money, talents and resources to another state in order to provide a better lifestyle for their families just as MagPul is doing to provide a better climate for their business.

This whole "fight or die" thing is simply ridiculous and it's a false dilemma. There are other choices. And I really doubt anyone is going to die if they choose to do neither and just "go with the flow". Believe it or not, some people are OK with that. I guess the gung-ho, macho allure of such statements are too hard for the simple-minded to resist.
