From NY to Texas. Do you have any idea what kind of culture shock you would be in for? Although Houston is a booming economy. If I was single and looking for work, I'd go to Houston.
So maybe I should acclimate myself a little more slowly, maybe a year or two in NC? But Gulf Coast offers deep sea fishing, which for me > hunting.
Hmmmm, maybe straight to Texas then. My idea can't be any more crazy than what a guy I went to HS with is doing. He has a engineering degree from UMiami, worked a post grad job for Barclays doing fnance, but now decided to quit, and up and move to Detroit to take part in the 'automobile boom'.
Could definitely live with the nightlife there, how's their eceonomy in terms of employment and such?
yet another reason I live in Oklahoma, #4 on the brady ban goobers states with most lenient gun control laws
From an article on msn New York's law, called the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act: •Bans possession of any high-capacity magazines regardless of when they were made or sold. Only clips able to hold up to seven rounds can be sold in the state. Clips able to hold seven to 10 rounds can be possessed, but cannot be loaded with more than seven rounds. If an owner is found to have eight or more bullets in a magazine, he or she could face a misdemeanor charge. •Requires ammunition dealers to do background checks, similar to those for gun buyers. Dealers are required to report all sales, including amounts, to the state. Internet sales of ammunition are allowed, but the ammunition will have to be shipped to a licensed dealer in New York state for pickup. •Requires creation of a registry of assault weapons. Those New Yorkers who already own such weapons would be required to register their guns with the state. •Most controversially, requires any therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat of harming others to report the threat to a mental health director, who would then have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient's gun could be taken from him or her, as well. •Stipulates that stolen guns should be reported within 24 hours. •Tightens the state's description of an "assault" weapon. Previous state law defined an assault weapon as having two "military rifle" features, but the new law reduces that specification to just one feature •Requires background checks for all gun sales, including by private dealers -- except for sales to members of the seller's immediate family Then this to close the article, New Jersey is wanting psych evals before allowing a purchase. Wonder how much that would cost? I don't even know if the Supreme court can save us now. In New Jersey, one of 18 new gun bills submitted to the legislature would require gun buyers to submit to a psychological evaluation. A bill requiring gun owners to register annually, and another requiring all guns to be kept in lock boxes when not in use may be introduced in California. While in Connecticut, state Sen. Beth Bye, wants to limit access to assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and require that firearms be registered by model and serial number.
I've decided I'll just move to Alaska and fish for halibut and become a weird old dock guy into my elder years, but at least I'll have my guns.
