To anyone convinced that the state of California holds so many "treasures" that giving up your ability to defend yourself is not worth the loss in "life style" - please do not move! You will never be happy to live in a state without the beautiful surroundings and the social status only afforded to those uneffected by state laws that supersede the Constitution. Instead move to a "Blue State" with your "California money" where your political influence and money will flourish. "********" cherish their Bible, guns, and God given freedoms that "clash" with the "liberal" life style and intrusive government agencies. I was a "native" of that once great state long ago and understand the "tie that binds"; but those prosperity days for California are long gone and have little chance of coming back (IMHO). No disrespect intended, but my current, and adopted state, has become overrun by people unhappy with their "Blue" states or cities they help create. What seems to follow are increased prices in every area of the local economy; and local politicians being swayed by their large "pocket books" and "liberal" social views that seek to change the political landscape. "Locals" in our region tend to "push back" - "doubling down" against CRT, "transgender grooming", "restrictive" speech, "climate" activism", and "anti" 2A laws. If you decide to move, it will have a life changing effect on you and your family that can be "liberating" for those prepared, and a depressing decision for the few expecting "Nirvana" in a land without the "high Sierras" and beach front property are enticements. If you cherish your freedoms and sanity, you will love living in a "Red" state; and be welcomed in - at least by me. My .02
