What do you like best about your home state?

Don't want to hijack the thread, but I must have missed that bit of news...

"Kane was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs and taken to Montgomery County jail after her sentencing, KYW reported. She posted a $75,000 cash bail and remains free while she appeals, CNN affiliate WPVI reported."

Wow! Hoping for the death of 40 million people. Interesting .....

And perhaps half of them are actually legal residents!

Piney woods, coastal plains, hill country, high plains, desert with sand dunes, citrus groves in the valley; you name, we have it somewhere. It's further from El Paso to Texarkana than from Texarkana to Chicago.

Some parts of Texas are so beautiful it'll bring tears to your eyes and some of it God made just to hold the rest together. Perhaps not His best effort.

Bro. Dave said what I was gonna say (thanks, Bro. Dave) so let me share a Texas story with y'all.

Back before I hung up my spurs, I spent a lot of time in Japan. You can go into a bar anywhere in Japan and sketch an outline of the state of Texas on a bar napkin. Leave it laying on the bar in front of you. Before long a Japanese patron will point to the napkin and exclaim, "TEXAS!" That will attract the attention of several other Japanese patrons, and they'll all gather around you and want to talk about Texas.

Yes, they'll keep buying you drinks as long as you'll talk to them about Texas.

Out of curiosity I tried this with the outlines of several other states that have distinctive shapes, like California and Florida. Never attracted a bit of attention.

I have a son who was born with a very rare and sever medical disorder. Having the best medical care in the world just an hour away in Boston not only saved his life, but has afforded him a better quality of life over these last 24 years.

Well, I've been here in North Carolina long enough to call it my home state. The thing I, really, like about the South, it's not only OK, to conduct yourself like a gentleman it is expected.

I've thought long and hard about the question posed by BR. I can trace my lineage back to 1846 Texas. What do I like best about Texas?... It aint California!

What do I like the best about ARIZONA! It can be stared in one word FREEDOM. If I want to buy a gun I go into a store pick out what I want fill out the 4473 and since I'm a CCW holder it doesn't have to even be called in. I pay for the gun and walk out of the store with it. It it's a C&R eligible gun no paperwork is required I simply hand them a copy of my 03FFL and that's it.
Knife rights were covered in another thread. Bottom line in Arizona I can carry any kind of knife I like either concealed or out in the open.

Ditto for Idaho.

I had two chance encounters with Missourians along a desolate stretch of MO Highway 61, south of Hannibal, on the evening of July 4th, 1989.
These were the only people I met that day. They were unforgettable, and renewed my faith in human nature.
"Mule-headed" they may be, but the farmers I met were also friendly and welcoming, warm and kind, generous and trusting.
I've never lived in MO, but I felt right at home there.

I think bigwheelzip has pointed out well that when you are somewhere else you get back what you project! Warm and friendly you get warm, friendly, and helpful back. Project negativity ( I know Moriarty ) you get negativity back!

Wyoming.

It's dammed near full.

Darned antelope, messing with a good landscape photo!

Yup and those two would be pretty decent shots if'n the season was open.

The best thing about the Great Commonwealth of Virginia is it isn't in the north!!!! And for the moment it's still a Free State.

Vermont. Much to like, much to dislike. I like the spring, summer, and fall seasons (someone else can have the other 6 months called winter); I like the vistas that include the mountains; I like maple syrup (although I partake in little of it while on my weight-control diet); I like our low crime rate coupled with some of the most lax firearm laws in the nation (although one political party would love to make our gun laws more like Massachusetts', New York's, or New Jersey's); I like the restaurants and craft beers and good gun stores. I don't like the constant push to raise taxes; we're already the perhaps highest taxed-state in the country.

I like my State because we just stack our "GOLD" on the ground

I don't know quite where to start when I speak of my home, the Commonwealth of Virginia.

First and foremost, we have the history of this country all around us. Jamestown, settled in 1607, was the first permanent English settlement in the New World. The first frontier was the lands across the Blue Ridge mountains.

Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Lewis & Clark, Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Houston, Austin, Cyrus McCormick and Chesty Puller were all born here.

We have flat land, ocean, beaches, rolling hills and mountains. Taxes aren't bad and the gun laws are reasonable. People are friendly and always willing to help their neighbors.

Country music and old time string music is all around me, here in the Blue Ridge.

Southern Hospitality started here in Virginia and then spread to the other southern states.

I could go on and on, but I think I've made my point.

Home and reside Ohio. Northeast Ohio,lake effect snowfall. I used to like snow as I was a snowmobiler,don't snowmobile anymore. Getting back to the 'likes'. I'm a 'gearhead' and Ohio is a gearhead state. Cruise-ins and car shows galore. Good gun show state. I'm a rollercoaster nut,Cedar Point.

Arizona! Constitutional Carry and other than some gun free zones, about the only restrictions on firearm use/ownership are those imposed by the Feds. But there’s also bad. Too many libtards moving in and too many non-English speakers. But we do have Sheriff Joe.
