Can you go anywhere? I recommend Annapolis, MD. It is a great town and is conservative since the Naval Academy is here.
Maryland has lousy gun laws. They're only slightly better than NY and NJ.
Honestly, I won’t go East of the Mississippi. I can’t fund a move more than a state or two away anyways.
Naps,
I know you are retired Navy, as is my son {Captain} and my daughter both of whom live in Annapolis.
It is a beautiful town and yes the Naval Academy is pretty conservative, but Annapolis is the capitol of Maryland, is crawling with demonRAT lawyers and demoRAT politicians and the demonRAT scum that they attract.
I've met more lefties in the downtown Annapolis bars than in San Francisco {there are more fags in SF}.
Maryland is as blue as Taxachewshits or New Yaark.
