Debating a move to...

That reminds me. Alabama. No open carry and if your paperwork (emigration papers not weapons) is not straight they will throw you in the clink. But getting a permit is pretty easy.

Alabama is open carry legal, just few people bother - they just get a permit to carry concealed. If you are here illegally, you deserve some time in the state hotel. That should be the case in any state.

Anyway, to the OP, if you like the northern european weather, I second oregon or washington. Both really beautiful places with good gun laws (for the most part).
 
"Skagit County in Washington state has a lot of native Dutch people. Most came after WWII so a lot still speak Dutch too.

You would feel very comfortable there with the tulips and farms. Lots of flat, reclaimed farmland, backed by beautiful mountains."

I totally support this one. I'm in Northern MN - and I don't plan on leaving as, to me, this is God's Country. :) But if I had to move somewhere, Skagit County is where I'd go!
 
If I was going to the trouble and had the means to contemplate that move, that firing/target area would be on my own property and the driving issues wouldn't be 1/2 the issue. Although I would still choose a firearm friendly state.
 
California is a very large state..........

and most of our e-quake activity is along the coast. In the central valley e-quakes are all but nonexistant. I live in Stanislaus Co. and my carry permit was issued with "Persornal Protection" being sufficient for good cause. MOST counties in CA will issue, just stay away from the big cities. However, if you have to work for a living our unemployment situation is really bad.
 
Florida, Arizona, Vermont, and Tenessee are pretty good states, among others, if you want to have the most freedom with firearms. If you dont mind living in the countryside and have the means, buy a nice piece of land that is not too close to other homes. That way you can shoot in your own backyard (as long as you follow the local laws of course).

Good luck with the move if you decide to. The "grass is always greener on the other side" as they say.
 
I'm seriously debating whether or not to move out of the Netherlands and settle across the Great Pond.

First worry about getting an immigrant visa, then worry about which state to live in. :(

( NJ, CA, MA, CT, and MD are the only ones to avoid at all costs, some would lump NY State in as well, NY City is OUT for sure).
 
Look at the Brady site,
handgun control.

Pick any state with a failing grade & then look into things like housing costs and the cost of living in one of those states.

Personally I do not like and do not trust the states that are called Commonwealths.

I say it depends on what you want to do with your guns. As someone said earlier, the list of states that are pretty decent when it comes to regulations is a lot longer than the stringent states.

If you just want to target practice whenever/wherever you want, then yeah, try something like Wyoming. But if you're interested in getting into big game - deer, elk, etc., or waterfowl, or upland birds, etc., then you ought to research a little deeper. Different states certainly have different opportunities.
 
Well, you can walk around with but you can't carry it in your car. What good is that in Alabama?

With a CC permit you can carry in the car. Says so right in my permit paperwork. Then OC when you get out if you want. Im more of a CC fan though.
