I like Indiana, but...

Two things that keep me out of Montana. First, the winters can be brutal. And secondly, Their are a lot of f*cking Californians there.

There is one thing that keeps me in this state and that's my elderly mother. When she passes, I'm outta here. Montana is looking quite good about now!!!!

Is Texas still a huge destination for liberty-minded individuals? (and some wannabe cowboy city folks)
After all, they were never ratified as a State, but have an annual agreement to award them 'states rights'. The Republic of Texas might be a better long-term location.

Texas has pretty strict gun laws compared to Indiana..... So no thanks!!!

Wow, haven't looked at any state laws on firearms. (I have studied their political and governmental structures but not individual laws)

So what (without hijacking thread) is the most firearm-friendly state?
Which is the worst?

 

[jeremy]

From having lived in several states myself, Indiana is one of the most firearms friendly that comes immediately to mind. And Illinois being one of the worst.

Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

Just reverse their findings. Kalifornia has the most invasive and unconstitutional, while Kentucky, Louisiana, and Oklahoma are currently the most correct.

Edit: Indiana has a score of 8, KY, LA. OK are all 2s, Kali is a 79. INDIANA IS TIED WITH MONTANA!

Edit, again: After reading, i can't figure out how those states got points, but it might be mistakenly. They answered yes to a question where no would have been the answer the campagn was looking for. Elsewise they're pretty much entirely pro-rights.

If you havn't read that site, go for it, its Hilarious. Or really disturbing and CRAZY!

Idaho is another place I would consider going. According to the rankings there are less gun laws and they still sell lifetime hunting licenses. I wish I was old enough to afford one when they were offered in Indiana.

 

[JByer323]

You know, I'm looking at a summer job out there, and I'm not sure if I'm going to ever make it back.

I lived in Alaska for six years the gun laws are pretty lacks there. I seen a lot of people carrying guns when I fished. Great hunting if you drive a little. My son wanted to live here to be by family. We wish almost every day we was back. He goes to college this year after that I told him we could go back. Always go through Montana when we go and it is almost as nice.

[jsharmon7]

How far back in the archives did you find this one? Its dust is covered with dust.

 

[HICKMAN]

[243rem700]

It's alive!

I just found it and am glad I did!

Helena, Mont. (AP) - Montana is trying to trigger a battle over gun control - and perhaps make a larger point about what many folks in this ruggedly independent state regard as a meddlesome federal government.

In a bill passed by the Legislature earlier this month, the state is asserting that guns manufactured in Montana and sold in Montana to people who intend to keep their weapons in Montana are exempt from federal gun registration, background check and dealer-licensing rules because no state lines are crossed.

That notion is all but certain to be tested in court.

The ATF still doesn't care.
