Soon to be refugee from the the California Republic

[Tucsonbound]

Hi all,

Planning my families escape from Los Angeles for 2021 and we have settled on the Oro Valley of Tucson where my wife has family. California has changed so much in the last forty years it is unrecognizable to me. I have to check the changes of law each time I go to the range to the point it is hard to tell what is or is not legal anymore. I promise we will not be bringing the liberal political disease with us and wanted to join your website to begin learning the Arizona culture before we arrive.

Welcome, lots of great people here with a sprinkling of not so much to keep things interesting.

Welcome to freedom

[High Standard]

Welcome! I left SoCal in 2008. I coudn’t stand it there any more. And I couldn’t stand the people any more.

Coming from CA and settle in the most liberal part of our state? Welcome to AZ and the forums!

Welcome to the board. It’s a rough crowd but all good guys. Keep that freedom mentality and push it on any other ex-Californians you meet here!

[Remow2112]

Hey, we need him in Tucson to try and balance out the liberals. Welcome!

I would have titled it as 'soon to be a free man' instead of 'soon to be a refugee'... sounds like he still has ties to kal. I also wouldn't identify them as a republic even though its part of the official state name and they started out that way... they are far from one.
but remow is right... Tucson needs all the help it can get.

Tucson needs all the help it can get.

no kidding, gf and I were just talking (bitching) about this yesterday.

where did our town go? I have been there for over 30 years, she is a native, and we are disgusted in what Tucson has become, right before our eyes.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes.

Harrier is right, I am sure I am institutionalized more than I would guess and that was a good example. I will do my best to keep that in check going forward.

I look forward to being a soon to be freeman from the former Republic of California.

AZ1182, I hear you on the CA attitude. I have never fit well in California due to my libertarian and natural rights views. How would you describe the Arizona attitude?

[AZ Husker]

Depends on where you are. Tucson and Flagstaff are heavily left leaning. The rest of the state is still pretty red.

[High Standard]

Up here in Prescott and Prescott Valley it is VERY red and right leaning.

Might be and I am hoping so but I am afraid I will see a repeat soon of the place of my birth. Most of NY state is heavy right and its a huge state. However it has been run by the laws of NYC forever.

I know there have only been a couple few protests here in the phoenix area but I worry that Phoenix area politics will run the state. More and more rabid left wingers will move to the phoenix area to create a new metropolis as they flee other areas. They will enjoy the sun and the outdoors and the far lower taxes ... and bring their shitty belief structure with them.

Good thing I will be dead soon so I don't have to move again.

I know its been said in other threads .. vote and vote often

Personally I would rather live in Tucson than anywhere near Phoenix or any of it's suburbs.
In the Phoenix area there are too many people and the traffic sucks.
I hate even having to travel through Phoenix.
