In NY we call that padding your pension.Can we at least be honest?
In NY State we get paid time and a half or double time over 40. No one does it for charity.

C'mon, guys.
5 pages............
I suggest-
Everyone who likes NY, stay there.
Everyone who is there, and doesn't like it, leave.
Everyone who has left, and is happy, stay where you are.
Everyone who left, and is unhappy, go back.
Anyone who wants to go, go.
Anyone who does not wish to go, don't.
What'd option did I miss??????

That's the beauty of livin' in a (semi-)free country, ain't it?

It's only by virtue of her sister getting dementia and being impossible to live with that she even moved out of Chicago. She asked me if I would move back to Chicago if she couldn't take care of herself. I told her she was welcome to move into my crap hole of an apartment if she needed to, but that I'd NEVER live in Chicago again and I meant it.
I voted with my feet twenty three years ago and there's not going to be any recounts.

i often look around at the various central american folks that are popping up 'round here more and more these days, i wonder if there is something wrong with the sky or the soil or the rocks and trees where they come from that makes them leave those places. then i realize because of exposure to their Culture, that it's the people that live there that makes them want to leave...We NY'ers are no different.
i lived west of the Hudson, out in the Void, for about most of the nineties, then i moved back. i was just ruining someone elses state with my bad attitude and anyhow i heard that mike was buying up all the good NY-1's...
Yes we suck as a culture, we are aggresive, sarcastic, impatient and a bit greedy. (and we drive a bit dangerously) in it's best light we call it Chutzpa and i have it as bad or worse than most.
so all yous NY bashers shouldn't oughta make us want to relocate or we just might set our sights on your neighborhood. i saw a 600yd shooting range in NH, and IA had some fat Pheasant and Deer, or Mike and i May just move in nextdoor to SilverCorvette. (maybe we can rename the place, something catchy like "NewBronx") Aw, who am i kidding i don't have any fat government pension like you guys...
oh well if i wasn't miserable i wouldn't be happy, it s a culture thing.
Regards,
Rich

Let me explain something. I've never met silvercorvette, never talked to him on the phone, never exchanged e-mails with him. I don't even care much for Corvettes. I have read his posts here on the Forum for a number of years.
Judging from his posts, his health suffers greatly in NY. He has stated his mother refuses to leave NY, and he goes to NY to visit family. I don't know for sure, but I'm confident that his family looks out for his mother now that he is living in South Carolina. What good would it do for him to live in NY and become disabled to the point that he can no longer take care of himself OR his mother.
I don't want to get into a p-----g contest with anyone on this Forum, but I consider the above statement a cheap shot.
They like donuts, Rich

Leave no parent alone: I have some unpleasant experience at that. Mom died in 1993. Dad came down with alzheimers about 7 years later. He lived in the country in wisconsin. Now dad was the most stubborn and conservative independant person God ever created. On top of that he was strong and 6ft 5"s. Kind of like trying to tell john wayne what to do in his prime!
He lost his drivers license. He refused to move to assisted liveing or come out to california to live with me. His nearest grocery store was 8 miles. He AND me was in a fix.
I got phone calls from aunts and uncles to come home and do something. I was semi single had a sick dieing girl friend liveing with me with no place to go. I had just retired.
I flew or drove home numerous times trying to talk him into liveing with me or selling out and going to assisted liveing. Not a hint of luck!
Finaly I went and lived with him for 6 hard trying months. While years ago he was the picture of neat and organised, the place had turned into squaller and dirty. It made sandferd & son look like a palace!
It took me 6 months of pleading and argueing but one day I caught him in a lucid moment and he agreed! I never felt more relief in my life!
Now one of his younger brothers that had taken over as family patrich was pushing me to go to court and haveing dad declaired incompitent. I just could not bring myself to do it. At the same time the girl friend I had left watching my place in california had got in a terrible auto accident, no medical insurance, got hooked on pain pills BIG TIME, had taken a old motorhome I had blocked up, and ran it into two parked cars! She died with cancer not much later.
Sorry for getting off thread, guess the moral is that eventualy everything gets sorted out.
Anyway, somtimes things aint so simple to solve!

You are correct perpster. But the FFL that I use is also a LEO who checks any suspect gun to make sure it's as clean as possible.
I just feel better knowing that I can always refer the sale back to him, just in case.

You have every right in the world to defend your home state. I think everyone knows and agrees with that. You are a regular on this forum and have lots of great imput on many various subjects IMO.
Silvercorvette.
You are a patriot, a good hearted person (judging by your posts over the years), and are not usually confrontational even when pushed a bit. You did not like your quality of life in NYC and left. That's a personal choice that suits you. You are obviously a happier person for it, and I am glad for you.
Here is the solution. You are both great guys, that are caught up in a bit of a scuffle. SC speaks negetively of NY (NYC)based on his personal experience and feelings about the place. It's not like he's someone who lives a couple of thousand miles away, who has never even been to NY trashing the place. So, L-13, IMO you should cut him a little (just a smidgeon) of slack.
Siver C. NY is home to a bunch of folks here. Even though those like Dave L who lives in the Adirondacks (lucky bastard!) and L-13 who obviously lives north of the city, it is their home. Anyone can understand a person defending there home. So, I suggest that you refrain fom trashing the place. Even though what you are saying may be correct as it applied to you, it is a bit of a slap in the face to those that are still living there and doing what they can to change the bad things.
In closing, I would like to say that it would be a real good thing to see two fine folks bury the hatchet and shake cyber-hands. You are both very important and much appreciated people on this forum.
Also, to both of you. My Red Sox kicked NY Yankee butt last night!
Hey, there are two games left this weekend, and I probably just jinxed my team! I think it was worth it!

You did well up until that point WG.
But THEN you did extremely well!
Believe it or not, I am probably the only person born and raised in the Bronx who roots against the Steinbrenners.
I'm an old Yaz fan from back in the day.
I won't even remind you of the 2007 Super Bowl, cause we're friends now.

As an after thought, when my other son retires I am going to make sure I get his NY-1 so that will be at least one L-13 can't get, but he has one beautiful collection already.

My comments have been directed at the lousy NY gun laws and other quality of life issues, I never directed my negative comments toward anyone but was attacked personally which in unacceptable. There is a big difference between bashing and giving your opinion of a states gun laws, but even if I did bash the state of NY it does not justify bashing me personally. I am reluctant to get into a word war, but the personal attacks and outright lies need to be addressed. I will respond later but right now it is too nice of a day to spend inside, and I need the time for it to stop boiling.
Is that the number of people who have moved out of Michigan in the last decade, or just the number who have lost jobs there?

WNY is a beautiful place. The Finger Lakes region, the wine regions, the north coast, the Canal system, the fishing and the hunting! The villages and the good people and all the FOOD!
But the taxes and police-state mentality, the gun laws, all dictate the prohibitions on free Americans that prevent enlightened citizens from returning or moving their families into the state.
There is no practical way to move my collection of some 200 handguns into NYS, were I to move there on a single-residence basis.
NYS residency is far better than any Calfornia residency - FAR better still!

Let me know Sam, I have a friend who does interstate moving.
