Indeed. If I see another NJ or NY license plate my head is going to explode.

Like seeing CA plates when I lived in Texas... Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad

Tennessee might not be far behind NC and Ga.

SC seems like the safest bet to me at the moment.

I'm just SE of Charlotte. It's good where I am minus Mecklenburg county. Agree with concord, carribus country. But allot of places are low income.

If I could do over, west SC would be my choice to get away from the riffraff. Make sure not in flood zone.

Monroe, Indian trail area is really pretty in the country side.

I hear Asheville is big democrat.

Meanwhile, Dems simply move into areas they like ergo, conservatives start makings plans to pack up? Good grief, take a stand!


I lived in Maryland for over 50 years. I was active politicaly, voted, wrote letters and talked to my all of my elected representatives. I worked very hard in the vote against the gun ban referendum, worked the phone banks and the polls on election day. Lost every time. Steny Hoyer will be my Congressman until he dies or decides to retire. When that happens, he will be replaced with someone as bad or worse. I lived in the Washington, D.C. area, just minutes from Virginia. As the neighborhood I lived in deteriorated, I had to move. At that point, VA. was the obvious option. It had better gun laws, and I could move far enough out from D.C. to be represented by people that did not hate me because I owned a gun. I worked very hard in the last election to keep my state representatives Republican and pro gun. It worked, but the Dems have taken over the state, If the Democrats pass some of the laws they are proposing I will have 3 choices= sell a bunch of stuff, move, or risk being arrested and convicted of a felony. What would you do?

My post was more a reaction to people instantaneously moving at the first sign of a liberal invasion to their region. We've gone about 20-years now of active movement of politically aligned migrations as a response to the other moving in. Areas that were once, red, are turning purple or, solidly blue. At what point do conservatives stop moving because the concentrations of like mindedness have run-out? Do conservatives start identifying attractive liberal areas and start to change it's demographics by moving in?

I left the People's Republic of California exactly two years ago and move to Murrells Inlet South Carolina I was thinking about Arizona and Texas but again too many Californians which complained about the high cost of California and then continue to vote the same way they did there what's just stumps me to no end, gave the east coast to try 4 miles from the beach and the people here are amazingly friendly, even the New Yorkers and new jerseyans tend to be about 8 out of 10 Red Staters pro-gun Etc and the Liberals pretty much behave, you can usually spot them they drive Subarus LOL

I'd stay the hell out of Charlotte/Meck County. Completely run by democrats, top to bottom. The entire county commission is democrat. Google the Mayor, District Attorney, Sheriff, etc. It's like the freaking twilight zone.

Violent crime is ridiculous, and taxes are stupid. And both are just going to get worse.

The surrounding counties are pretty good, except Gaston, to the west. Highest taxes in the state. And a little wild.

If I was picking between North and South Carolinas, for your purposes, I'd pick South without hesitation. NC is right behind VA.

I'll be able to retire in 12 or 13 years. I will run as fast as I can.

As am I. There is no place safe if we run and hide every time someone gets a leg up on us.

I'm not moving.

I've lived in Virginia for a solid 43 years. And, before a stint overseas, for seven years. That's a total of 50 of my 68 years. Bring it on, commietards!

I now wear my "President Trump 2020 - Keep America Great" hat out proudly in public, nearly every day. I have yet to have someone confront me, but my standard comment, and prepared response is, "I vote facts, not emotion." And the facts are these: Donald John Trump was elected because he promised the American people he would restore America to greatness. He has been fulfilling those promises at breakneck speed DESPITE EVERY ATTEMPT TO BLOCK, HINDER, DELAY OR REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE.

There is a plague of third-graders appealing to other third-graders getting elected to higher offices. I may become the last man standing in this, but by God, I will remain standing.

I don't think you'll "get away from Democrats" very much in NC. They also have stupid Jim Crow-era gun laws (needing a permit to purchase a handgun, for example).[QUOTE]

Pray tell us more about any/all these other stupid NC gun laws. We have been able to buy handguns for years without any purchase permits. It does require showing a NC Concealed Handgun Permit (and a NC Drivers License). I don't think obtaining a CCP (in any US state) has anything to do with Jim Crow era law.

But I bet you already knew all the above anyway! You just wanted to "flip you lip" about NC, because where ever you now reside, handguns are soooo much easier to obtain.

Kindly enlighten all our SF fellow members as to just how onerous NC firearms law really is! Additional explicit examples will be most welcome.

For 50+ years I've had zero problems legally purchasing any firearm (that I wanted) here.

I am not suggesting that you move anywhere. However I do believe in general that SC is more conservative than NC at the present time.

I have lived most of my time in NC. I have no plans to move anywhere. However never say never.

I just moved to VA a year and a half ago, but I have bought a house, got my kids into school, have a great job with the Navy. I might not have taken the job if this red/blue flip had taken place before I got the offer, but I am here now and I intend to fight. These insane proposed gun laws violate three sections of Virginia's OWN Constitution. Hopefully we can tie them up in court until we can flip the state house in two years.
If every Virginia gun owner had donated the price of one cheap pistol, Hell, the price of one range day's worth of ammo to pro gun causes and candidates, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Donate time, money, and effort to pro gun causes and candidates. Attend lobby days. Write or visit your local and state representatives.

Not moving.

Yes, it was a close election as I recall, but a couple of months ago we were assured it was solid, and as someone famously pointed out, elections have consequences no matter how we wish to ignore them.

So, that’s my question now: Just where can someone move to be in freedom safety for at least … oh, say, a year or perhaps even 18 months?


Kentucky has always favored Democrat governors.
Look at all the other state wide elections the R’s won by substantial margins.

Bevin loosing was all of his own doing. Good policies but said some of the dumbest stuff you could imagine is why he lost the election.

We aren’t going purple anytime soon. The big cities sure but not the state.
