Best place to live?

For everybody the perfect place to live will be different. Aside from the climate, weather, geography most important thing to me is our freedom and respect of constitutional rights (all of them)! There are plenty of States that are beautiful and have a great climate - but I will no longer set my big toe in them as I have written them off as anti-American States. Since I have moved out of NY almost 4 years ago I now have different sense and feeling of living - for the better! I feel the State I now live in respects citizens rights and constitutional law as opposed to where I used to live. To me that is worth 100 days of beautiful weather! I'd sooner deal with 4 legged animals or ones without legs at all than the 2 legged variety! At least here is you are forced to defend yourself, I feel our State has your back instead of being prosecuted as a criminal for the mere fact that you defended your own life against a career criminal. It's a good feeling!!!!
 
I've lived in northeast Ohio my whole life and often refer to it as Texas with snow. The only drawbacks in my eyes are that you have to use straight wall cartridges to hunt, and if you carry without a license, don't get pulled over in a school zone or you will have a bad time. Other than that, we get all 4 seasons(sometimes all in one day), we have great food, largely unobtrusive gun laws, and still tend to vote red outside of the major cities.

I am living in my forever home in southcentral PA. I helped to design my house and had it built special for me by a local builder. My intention is that the only ways I'm going to leave this house will be in a straitjacket or feet first. (I have been carried out feet first a couple times already but always returned upright.)

If I had to move back up north it would be right there.
 
I live in North East Ohio. Very nice place to live. No extreme weather. Lower cost of living. Good Gun Shows. Places to shoot. A big lake if you like that kind of thing. The best chicken wings in the Country! Only two hours away from my hunting camp. Which is located close to Corry, Pa. So, I will also mention North Western, Pa. Beautiful country, lots of history, and nice people like in Ohio.
 
Alabama. As I age, I prefer north Alabama over south and parts of central Alabama. We have our problems / issues, but firearms stuff doesn't seem to be one of them. As least for the law-abiding citizens. JMHO.
 
We're not supposed to talk about politics here, so I won't. There's a video on YouTube called The Rocky Mountain Heist. It explains very well what happened to Colorado and it explains that it's coming to your state too guaranteed. I highly recommend that you watch it.

I got to Colorado in 1992 it was a great state. It's changed. If it was up to me I would leave Colorado. Since it's not I won't.

My daughter doesn't tell people what she's thinking. About 5 years ago she bought land in Eastern Colorado. Now she's buying more land.

She's decided that my wife and I are too old and feeble to live in town on our own so one of the properties that she bought has a small home on it and we'll be living in it. It actually has two homes on it, our granddaughter and her family will be living in the other one to keep an eye on us.

The farther you get away from I-25 the better Colorado gets. Our intention is to stay out of town unless we have a Medical appointment that we can't do via Telehealth.

Bo, I grew up where you live now. I graduated from Riverside High School. I used to go to the Maple Festival in Chardon. After my dad got remarried he had a house built in Fairport Harbor overlooking Lake Erie. My brother lives there now and we were able to go down to the beach and watch the solar eclipse.

I have lived in Colorado since 1968. I love this state above all others. Problem is we are getting people from all the others that have different ideas about how things should be run. It is a damn shame, this state used to be fairly moderate until the Gang of 4. I am hoping that things will go back the way they were. True Coloradans love their ranches, farms, skiing, mountains and their rivers. Wish we could just get back to that.
 
Funny, Some of my coworkers moved to Missouri from Arizona after retirement. One indicated he'd rather be in Arizona, but the wife has relatives in Missouri, so...... FWIW I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona; still live in Arizona, but in Rim Country now. We have plenty of deserts, mountains, even forests believe it or not, hunting, fishing, constitutional carry, CCW permits if desired, etc. Of course, the Left down at the state house are always proposing more restrictions on firearms, but I suspect that is the case with most every big city now days. It's a shame, but some beautiful Western states are now controlled by people in the big cities with a mindset very different than that of traditional Westerners. Still, Arizona is not lost yet and might be worthy of consideration...

I would suggest Louisiana, but I don't think you'd like the heat, bugs, and roads, lol. However, my son moved to eastern Tennessee five years ago, lives on a mountain ridge top and loves it. It is a beautiful place. He met and married a girl from New York who came there for the same reasons.

My wife's hillbilly cousins sold brooms to Gatlinburg tourists for many years, buying up parcels of land outside the city with the proceeds. They build "cabins" on the lots, which they rented out to more tourists. Finally they sold the lots and cabins to the "outsiders" who apparently were willing to pay any price to get them. The hillbilly cousins are all very wealthy now, thanks to all those wanting to "get away" to east TN.
 
I moved from Ohio to South Carolina. No regrets. Mountains, Mountain Lakes fishing. trout fishing. Salt water, kinda scrawny little dear, turkeys. Open carry and pretty good gunshows. Do get the occasional hurricane. All my liberal friends here keep moving back to their home states
 
Having worked in multiple states, Canada and assignments in mexico. In addition traveled for work to a good portion of England, Europe, Indoneshia, Asia and China. I was always glad to get back to good ole USA. In the USA I prefer smaller towns and areas of country that are progun. You couldn't pay me enough to live in New York, Illinois, or California. I like where I am at right now in northern Wisconsin and intend to be planted here in the end.
