JP, sounds like you can do whatever, whenever and nothing is anchoring you. We're not all in that situation and I hope you don't take it for granted. Would I like to pull up roots simply due to the political climate in California? Absolutely! However, I'm not loaded with cash, I live on property with family that are too long in the tooth to start anew in another state and I'm pretty loyal to them. It'll be about 10 years for my wife and I to call California our former home. I'll miss fishing offshore for kings and lings, waterfowl hunting 25 minutes from home, deer hunting in beautiful country 2 hours from home and the weather of course.
Back to your last post, isn't your "fish and game" department called Parks and Wildlife and your wardens are wildlife officers? Colorado is going the way of California faster than good Colorado folks want to admit. Regarding boys and girls bathrooms, that's a silly argument. Refer to Colorado HB23 that went into affect this year. It's the tip of the iceberg. Illogical regulations and laws will become the norm.
California banned hound hunting for bears in 2013 or so. Colorado did it in the early 90's. If you don't fight like hell, cats will be off the table next. Then all cat and Bear hunting will be banned. It's been talked about for years in California.
Mountain lion hunting was banned in the early 90's in California. They're a protected species. We currently have population estimates of 3-4x the carrying capacity. Liberals in the big cities are barley starting to see the effects of human habituated lions and bears. It'll continue to worsen before there is a sliver of hope in reversing course.
The progressive agenda is a snowball that won't stop unless like minded, rational people, stand up and sacrifice a bit. I'm one of those people that needs to do more. Unless, it's a cause that our representatives can use for financial gain or reelection, writing my legislators and signing petitions is fruitless. I'll keep doing it though. I'm the definition of insanity!
Or, we could all take your advice and leave California. However, we'd get bitched at for doing that too.
