If guns and hunting are such a big part of your life- why would you want to live in a place like that?
Because I'm 77 and I have two houses here and my kids are here and my significant other is here and she won't move. If you are in the right place, our duck hunting is as good as any place in the country. CA harvests more waterfowl annually than any other state. Beaches, mountains, deserts, all within an hour of either house. I'm three hours from Yuma for doves, one hour from San Diego for fishing, three hours from the Salton Sea for ducks. I have 55 wineries within 20 minutes. It rained this week but it's going to be 75 F next week, so we have the best weather in the country and we gripe as we pay the weather tax. When I was younger, I could surf in January and ski into May. The government sucks big time, but it wasn't always this way, and we keep hoping for a change. Just have to wait for Los Angeles and San Francisco to fall into the Pacific, and for Sacramento to be swallowed by a giant sinkhole. Can't happen soon enough. If I were 40, I'd be gone. When I was 40, things were pretty good here.
