>>>We strongly considered moving South when we retired to get away from the crazy politics here.
However, it looks like the politicians have gone wacky in the Southnowhere to run these days<<<
Despite this Flag controversy, Mississippi is the Freest State in the Union. We moved here from CA. The only “issues” of concern are the Bugs and the Weather. Since God invented Window Screens and Freon, we can deal with it.
Even the so called Free State of Texas refuses to allow their Citizens to carry a Gun without a Permit. Not a problem where we live. My Gun goes where I go. I will only be getting a Permit so I can Legally carry in Reciprocal States.
If you won’t move South to live as a Free Man, Idaho or Wyoming might be the way to go.
I am watching and waiting—to see which states (if any) have politicians with a spine.
