Behind enemy lines in CA. Need to escape. Need help

[WYO300RUM]

All the major cities in Texas voted BLUE in the 2016 election except for Amarillo (God bless you people!) If it's "urban" it's liberal.
View attachment 134690
Thankfully the rural and suburban folks were able to outweigh the major population centers. Please note the BLUE areas and what they border. Hmmm...

Unfortunately, there are many states where there are not enough 'other' people to counter the big, dominant city vote. Eastern WA gets dictated to by the I-5 corridor cities (Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia). All of CO gets to live as Denver and the surrounding-attached cities dictate. Colorado Springs used to provide some of a counter-balance to that, but not anymore. NM is driven purely by Albuquerque and Santa Fe and those towns are now solidly blue. (NM has always been a 'Democrat' state, but they were southern, conservative-type Democrats who could be confused with Republicans anywhere else...but not anymore )

Texas CAN survive but we need PRO-GUN people to move here from their 'over-run' communist states and VOTE PRO-GUN. Not 'save the environment'. Not 'protect the unions'. Not 'free-education'. Not 'Medicare for all'. PRO-GUN. Once we send the politicians the message that gun control is NOT A WINNING STRATEGY, only THEN can we debate and vote on the other issues. Vote freedom first. Once we beat that into the politicians heads, then we can debate the 'other things'.

Very well said.

I hear people talk about Montana, South Dakota, Idaho, Wyomong. Places along our Northern Border are Beautiful. To me the biggest problem there is SUB ZERO winter temps. Living in the South, Hurricanes and Tornados. Nice home one day trash the next. Here in Nevada we have a rare Earthquake. A little shake and it's over. The Sierra's provide a buffer from major Pacific Storms
Temps in my are generally range between 10 and an occasional 100 degrees. I heard that in the Early 2000's that Reno had a 3 foot snow fall one day. The Northern areas of Nevada areas get snow, rain and sunshine. If you want to live in the Forest, there are areas that the homes are interspread amoung tall pines just out of Reno. The people outside Reno and Vegas thank me for my Service. I lived on CA for 65 years and hardly a soul ever thanked me for my service while there. There's no High Humidity here, no Hurricanes, no Tornados, minimal Earthquakes. I've lived in GA, KY, TN, MD, LA. Korea and Vietnam while in the Service plus stationed at Fort Ord and on TDY to Camp Roberts and HLMR in Central CA. I've been around the US and so far, Nevada beats them all. Great big Game hunting. Trout fishing from Stocked Rainbows to monster Browns in the Truckee River and the 30+ pound Lahoten Cutthroat from Pyramid Lake. That's around an hour from here. There is also a lake chock full of Walleye just off I-80. Like skiing or Snowboarding, some of the finest Ski Slopes are within an hour or less. Right now I can see Mt. Rose Ski area with snow still falling yesterday on the Slopes. Name anywhere that's available the doesn't freeze solid in winter or sweat you silly with temp and humidity runnin in the high 90's. I've not regretted moving here in any way. I was in Montana Trout Fishing in 2005 and in the Gunships there, they literally hated people from California. Californian sold properties in CA and the overpaid for land in Montana driving their property taxes sky high. Besides making it nearly impossible for many to even think about buying. So my entry to where to go is where I'm now from. On one part of my family, I had a Great Uncle that listed in the Indio City Museum that says he, David Elgin, was the first white child born in Indio, CA.

First white child in Indio ? Wow ! I lived in Palm Desert and Palm Springs for about 5 years when I was a kid. Never cared much for Indio....

Well...them's the trade-offs!

Adversity protects liberty. People who know how to take care of themselves and are more self-sufficient will leave you alone! Life is too easy on the "blue coasts", as I call them. Also, when looking to relocate for liberty, don't look in areas with booming economies that feature nice and neat neighborhoods and fancy malls, restaurants, and store fronts. Where people have large disposable incomes and wealth, those empowered by government to take it from them will have larger veins to tap and then they'll use the stolen booty to control you! They can't get very much blood from a turnip in poorer areas but one must also select an area where people are taking charge of their own lives, rather than taking drugs, which of course results in poor economies and quite often a large number of government welfare programs too.

Accept that life will be tougher in places where you will more often be left alone. I believe these guidelines are generally true in the U.S.A. but they do not necessarily apply to the rest of the world.

My family and I spent two years in a truck camper traveling extensively throughout the entire state of Idaho (except for the Boise area) in all seasons of rain and mud, snow and cold, forest fire smoke and choke, before we found our new home a year and a half ago. It was challenging and our homestead is still challenging today--exactly what we wanted!

The color threw me ! I have a bourbon color Chesapeak named Whiskey. He's going to be 6 in 3 months and acts like he's 2 energy wise. Thanks for reply !

I understand. I get that a lot with her. She turned 6 back in October and still acts like she is 2 or so, as well. Usually means they will live a long life, the longer they act like a puppies.

Standing Ground: For several reasons, my wife and I, both retired, have chosen to stay in California. After many years in and near San Francisco, we moved to the Sacramento suburbs. After growing up in Illinois and Wisconsin (20F below, etc.) and she in Seattle, we now enjoy dry-heat 100f+ summers. We like it. We also have nearby a first-rate huge range near Ione. Sacramento is liberal, but not yet as bad as the SF Bay Area. And here is some reason for optimism:
After being a very qualified shooter for decades, I now finally have a Sac County CCW, something formerly near impossible in California urban areas. We have a 2nd Amendment Sheriff and a Sac County DA who helped push DNA to where once-safe serial killers are being exposed weekly. We got this by VOTING! Don't despair or give up.

And, yet, right across the Sacramento River in rural Yolo County, still almost impossible to get a CCW due to the uber-liberal voting of the People's Republic of Davis and it's UC Davis campus... :-(

I think we need more people who have his value's, The college towns are taking over Montana like Missoula and screwing our gun laws so any vote and new voters to help are welcome.

Yes...or get everyone like you and me to vote. I have no doubt there is more us. The other side votes in higher %. They don't out number us.

If I recall correctly the Bay area was pretty liberal in the early 70's when I was stationed in that part of the world . The southern part hated us returning from south east asia as well

Universities, where brains go to die. Keep fighting.

You wouldn't believe it now.

Yup--I attended UCD in the late 70s and early 80s as both an undergrad and electrical engineering grad student. It's changed a lot. I can't even stand to visit the place today (and not just because of the anti-gun brainwashing environment--there's plenty of other dogma being spread to diseased minds there).

BTW, UCD employs a very active and well-known anti-gun professor who propagates all the gun-grabbers' brainwashing in his "work" (posing as a respected PhD. academic sort). I don't recall his name. I keep getting beg-a-grams from the UCD Alumni Assoc. and other fund raising groups. I won't send the enemy a dime! I've never even set foot on the Hillsdale College campus but it's the kind of institution that I can voluntarily support.

do not consider Massachusetts. This just happened in Suffolk county God bless the Liberals
Charges To Be Declined
Charges for which the Default is to Decline Prosecuting (unless supervisor permission is obtained).

• Trespassing
• Shoplifting (including offenses that are essentially shoplifting but charged as larceny)
• Larceny under $250
• Disorderly conduct
• Disturbing the peace
• Receiving stolen property
• Minor driving offenses, including operating with a suspend or revoked license
• Breaking and entering — where it is into a vacant property or where it is for the purpose of sleeping or seeking refuge from the cold and there is no actual damage to property
• Wanton or malicious destruction of property
• Threats – excluding domestic violence
• Minor in possession of alcohol
• Drug possession
• Drug possession with intent to distribute
• A stand alone resisting arrest charge, i.e. cases where a person is charged with resisting arrest and that is the only charge
• A resisting arrest charge combined with only charges that all fall under the list of charges to decline to prosecute, e.g. resisting arrest charge combined only with a trespassing charge

Instead of prosecuting, these cases should be (1) outright dismissed prior to arraignment or (2) where appropriate, diverted and treated as a civil infraction for which community service is satisfactory, restitution is satisfactory or engagement with appropriate community-based no-cost programming, job training or schooling is satisfactory. In the exceptional circumstances where prosecution of one of these charges is warranted, the line DA must first seek permission from his or her supervisor. If necessary, arraignment will be continued to allow for consultation with supervisor. Thus, there will be an avenue for prosecuting these misdemeanors when necessary but it will be appropriately overseen by experienced prosecutors.

Note: this is essentially already happening for drug possession cases in Roxbury and Dorchester District Court.

Like Trump often likes to say, this is a country of laws. The libs want lawlessness to upset the fragile balance a government like ours is based on. It is an anti American movement and the sooner we accept it for what it is and swash it, the easier it will be. If we keep our heads in the sand and continue to believe the left is just a little lost right now , we will have a civil war on our hands if we want freedom to continue, or worst yet, to be restored .
