FP1201 said:

The State Senators from North and Central NY all oppose GIANARIS and his continuous bullshit, but with Republicans being so outnumbered, the democrats don't even bother telling anyone they're holding hearings or votes.

I believe that`s how we got the NY-UNsafeAct shoved down our throats. They just seem to do whatever the fk they want.

Actually it was a betrayal by Dean Skelos who was at the time the Republican Majority Senate Leader....that's right, one of our own sold us out.
Tom King who as President of NYSRPA was there outside Dean's Office about 11:30 Saturday Night, when Skelos came out and said "Go Home Tom, NOTHING'S going to happen tonight." then the lying motherfucker went right down to the Senate Floor and called for a Vote and it passed...Cuomo finished jerking everyone off and signed it the next morning.
Know who got us the first Assault Weapons Ban in New York? The one that exactly mirrored the already in effect Federal Assault Weapons Ban (sans the Sunset provision): It was Governor George Pataki, A Republican..."I had to or it was going to be much worse"... bull-fucking-shit!

Dean Skelos, the convicted felon who was found guilty on eight counts of bribery, extortion, and corruption forcing him to forfeit his NYS Senate Seat (but still collected his generous NYS pension while incarcerated getting free room and board paid by the taxpayers).

Wowwwww, you just brought back a whole lot right there my friend. Yep, i do recall alot of that now. My old memory isn`t as good at remembering all this stuff anymore. So much is being thrown at us anymore, its just fucking pathetic. Still waitin on the wife to give her retirement notice at her job, and we`re out of this shithole state for good. A close friend of mine, just retired, he`s packin it up and leaving NYS in a couple months.

My entire Family is on board with moving the Summer out of NYS for good...Kids are going down next month to look at areas to settle in, and we'll be right behind them. Babies will stay with us while they look...we've ALL had our fill of this mismanaged State.
One disappointment with looking at Houses on=line in the area is they are expensive! City we're looking at has around 35,000 people and there were 1,275 houses sold there last year and a lot of houses and property for sale at big money prices.

I swore the next time I move it will be to someplace where I can shoot in my own yard...I'm finding places, but they are exceeding my budget by a lot...Last thing I want at my age is to be "House Poor" where you've bought a big place, but it eats you up in maintenance/upkeep and even taxes.
Love the house we have now, the neighborhood, even the Village where we've lived and raised Children over the last 33 years, but the State as a whole has become so fucked up, expensive, and restrictive that We just refuse to be a part of it any longer.
The Cookeville area is in the top running, and many others think so too: local demographic indicate 1,275 Homes were sold there in 2024...question I've posed on another Board is "Where did the people that sold these Homes go, and why?

FP, you an i are in the same boat. So, Cookville, i assume Tenn? We looked long and hard at Tenn, we just could not nail anything down within our budget. Its crazy what a place costs there now. A close friend wants us to move to South Carolina when he leave NY in the next 2 months. I would, but i hate the south east humidity, and hurricanes! We lived in north carolina for a short time, hated every day we lived there. Now i look back, i wish we had stayed, lol. But we never predicted that NYS would turn into a shit-hole sewer so fast.

My wife an i just put up brand new home 3yrs ago on our property we`ve owned for well over 40+ years. We paid cash for the new house (we put money away for decades to do the new house), not a single penny owed on anything we have. We have a 5 acre gun range, huge trout stream thru the property, lots of deer hunting, talk about hard to give up what took us decades to have.... we can`t even replace what we have, and that`s what is so fucking hard about having to move to get away from all the stupid ignorant fucks and the endless bullshit in NY state. Its gonna get a lot worse, too.

Brother we are both in the same Boat...One thing I will stick by is the premise you really have to live somewhere for a full year before deciding you love it, hate it, or it'll do for now.
I've a best friend that's in Western NC and it's a whole different world from the rest of the State including and especially Asheville which has become the Austin of the East.
Best thing I liked about South Carolina was the Sign that says "Welcome to Georgia".
Huntsville AL is a Corporate/Government City that's evolved ahead of the rest of Alabama with money and intelligent planning, but it's big and busy, more so than I want.
We've felt NY getting worse for decades and not just the Gun Laws, although that has always been my main focus, really the last ten years have just been remarkably maddening with demands, legislation, intrusiveness, control over things that really aren't for the State to rule over, but here we are.
TN isn't the end-all, be-all but what we've seen from a distance does look like Reagan's "Shining City" instead of the "Shitty City" on the Hudson.
