    Like Fishnut, it was 2 years ago we left NJ for New Hampshire.  My property taxes are about the same here as they were in NJ, but with no state tax and no sales tax, I saved enough the first year to pay for the move.   I miss our friends and some of the things we did ther,e and there is NO good pizza here, but it will be a cold day in hell before I ever move back to NJ.

    With the new borrowing the state just dug the deep hole deeper.  I don't see anything good happening in NJ during my lifetime. 

    Haha there’s no pizza in FL either!  It’s dominos and they it’s good.  There’s also no bagels unless you go into downtown Jacksonville.

    No, nothing last forever. Your state is another example. Has always been a 'run to state'. But I don't plan on living long enough to care. How long do people have to fight the losing cause of NJ?
    - 2A is a dead issue and will only reanimate when all the old dems are dead... maybe...
    NRA is useless as a tits on a bull as well as their useless mouth pieces in NJ. Not mentioning names but you know who. These asshats come out smelling like a rose when they defeat the most smallest case while GOA and SAF actually fight tough battles and win. I've been a Life Patriot Benefactor for years and they are still not satisfied. They get no more from me.

    Poor Anthony, 'the tip of the spear', is busting his arse and for what? Just to have these swamp scum politicians look at you over their glasses while giving you the middle finger under the desk? I understand nobody wants to just roll over and die, but the outcomes are the same almost each and every time. 

    All I know is now my blood pressure is lower, we are always in the black and so much more.

    You obviously ditched NJ and for good reason. BTW, as depicted,  leaving NJ was not just about gun rights. I'm sure you know that. I'm in the country for the most part. It takes me 20 mins to get within city limits... I have farm animals for neighbors even though I live on a culdesac with brand new houses. 

    I busted my arse all my life, worked since I was 13 and lived in a 1940ish house. It was def the time to get the eff out. I think we deserve it. New house, new cars and a lot more that we could never afford in NJ. Now just got to wait for wife to retire then maybe by another house in Kentucky... 

    I totally get it.  You can’t just run for gun rights as it’s only one factor.  FL will be one of the first to fall, it’s a tipping point already.  The governor barely won and the republicans there are Rhino’s on their best days.  It was a republican that introduced the AWB that failed two years ago.  The state has ingested many displaced Puerto Ricans  which has me doubting Trump can carry the state again.  I moved to FL because the gun rights were better and will be better than NJ for a while.  I also picked it because there’s no state income tax, that’ll change too but will be a slow grind, and finally for the weather.  I love beaches and tropical weather.  I still have a home in NYC and NJ and I don’t know where I’ll end up at the end of the day.  Maybe NJ and FL or NYC and FL but it I maintain the spaces I do so I can see my kids.  At the end of the day taxes and freedoms are a great driver but being with my kids as the marry and have kids is the most important thing.  

    BTW, I’m not sure how you were interpreting my posts.   I was in no way being critical of your decision on Tennessee or your lifestyle.  I’m hoping you didn’t take it that way. 

    I’m a life member of the NRA but won’t give them money.  I’ve been directing my money to others that have been doing better especially in FL.  I’ll find someone in NJ to support but the NRA has to get their $h!t together before they get into my wallet again.

    This Nov, we will be here in TN 2 years. While I miss my old house, people and such, I'd never go back. 

    For the first time in decades, we are always in the black. There were times in NJ where we couldn't afford a pizza once in awhile.

    Nashville is screwed up like most big cities, but in most cases people fight here. They won't be in office long.
    NJ dems are dug in because the dem voters are dug in. They just refuse to jump ship. Others, (and I have a few on my street), still think dems are the future and ask me stupid questions as to what did Trump do for us. I just cringe and tell them to research things themselves. 

    So far, our taxes are low, no state tax, gas is fairly reasonable. My utilities are not bad. We actually have a growing savings account. 
    I've said NJ has been doomed for years and it will continue to be doomed till it starts trying to go red. That won't be in my lifetime.

    On a 2A note, G&A put out their new 2A friendly state list for the year and AZ is still in the #1 spot. Guess where NJ is...

    No question AZ is good right now.  However, when you are the number 2 choice for Californians running away do you think that will last forever?  Look at what a couple major cities did to Colorado?  On an area basis Colorado is 99% red but all you need is Boulder and Denver and you have gun restrictions.  Moreover, what I’ve learned more than anything recently is conservatives, and gun owners especially, suck at defending their rights.

    I saw a segment on Fox talking about the real estate situation in FL since the COVID stuff started.  

    Houses are selling in FL for well over asking price.  Many are selling sight unseen over the internet.

    A moving company said their business usually peaks in the summer and falls off in August (getting kids in school in September?).  Now they're booked through November.  90% of the moves are from NY, NJ, and CT.

    I think it will slow down when this COVID thing gets under control.

    I was speaking to the guy that built my house in FL, we shoot on his farm now and again, and he said realtors are stunned at the aggressiveness of people willing to buy and rent sight unseen.  If everyone moves out NJ, NY and CT will only have conservatives left.  Most that are fleeing due to COVID and civil unrest are those that voted for these turd Democrats.

    So I'm like 4-5 years out, your saying I'm screwed? 

    At some point, the way things are going, we’re all screwed.  I’m simply saying in this post that the popular escapes won’t be much better.  You may have to consider something that doesn’t immediately jump out like Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana.  It’s just that the “usual” places have been discovered by too many libs.   
     

    What gun owners should learn from libs is how to rally, band together, protest snd affect change.

    If you are thinking of leaving I’d skip some of the traditional destination like:  FL, NC, TX, CO, ID and to an extent AZ (second most popular spot for those fleeing CA last year).  These states are at a tipping point, and beyond in some cases.  FL, NC full of NE libs and FL has a large influx of dem voting Puerto Rican’s post Maria.   NC is also a popular destination and with the research triangle in RD and banking in CLT it will continue to get bluer.  As CA burns, and I don’t mean literally, and considers a 10 year exit tax they are fleeing to TX, ID, CO (which they already kind of ruined) and now AZ and NV.  Austin is the progressive capitol of the south.  Amazon is expanding there, SpaceX is there and Tesla may move capacity there too.  That equals more Californians.   Virginia is already gone with a dem majority.  
     

    Tennessee is even started get some blue taint on it. 
     

    I’m not sure how long anywhere will last but some are earlier in there transformation.  Just check the migratory path of libs before deciding and go elsewhere.

    From what I just read on ARFCOM was the 9th circuit court has overturned that ban.  Which organizations around here have the capability of moving a lawsuit forward in NJ now that there is some precedent.  I am willing to donate to liberate my brothers and sisters here in NJ.  

    How can this CA get this right and has NJ even tried?

    Here's a link.

    I should clearly state the obvious IANAL and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.  In fact I drank way too much, didn't sleep well and have a hangover.  And if you were wondering, yes I'm doing it again tonight because it's Friday and I'm in a good mood.

    My NJ Retail License to Sell Firearms is in the mail.  Left Trenton on the 23rd according to the trooper.  

    I went to Tuxedo Park, NY and got my fingerprints done this morning for ATF (paper/ink) and as soon as I have my NJ License in hand I will submit my ATF paperwork.  I was advised by ATF to not submit until I actually have the paper in hand as any delay in receiving it will delay my ATF paperwork which is less than desirable.  

    I am truly on the move now and am hoping to have it by end of August.  

    I’m excited to come visit.  Will you be allowing @Zeke in the shop?

    Here's all you really need to know.  Every time a gun owner brings a gun on a boat there seems to be an incident leading to loss of firearms.  If you don't want to lose your guns in a boating accident :icon_e_wink: then don't bring your firearms on a boat.

    I’m kind of surprised no one else has mentioned this yet, but of course guns are allowed on boats. How else are you going to lose them in a boating accident?  

    That’s what happened to all my firearms.  Damned boats.

    I suspect the rules you were inquiring about come from the State more than the range. I could be wrong, I'm due for that I think.

     

    Yeah, could be.  My main point, about myself, was don’t be critical until you’re informed. Thanks again.  Are you a member there?  I was a guest once and really enjoyed it but lived far from that location.  I’m a reasonable distance currently which is why I was considering joining.

    The FID requirement might be because we're registered with the State, either that and/or insurance purposes. Some FFLs will not let you touch a gun without a FID.

    I know we have part time residents as members. I don't know them directly, but I've heard them being announced. New members are introduced at the club meeting, nothing fancy, just name and town you're from.

    Best bet is to email Rob and see what he says. Just be patient, I think I waited a day to hear back from him the first time I reached out.

     

    I deleted my post because I don’t feel it was the place to ask but I appreciate your response.  After I posted asking about the requirements I remembered the golden rule. Their range, their rules.  :)   I also emailed the person you mentioned.
