Those of you behind the iron curtain here in New England if you could move to a free state that's still relatively close to New England [extended family, etc], would you pick ME, NH or PA and why? Always wondered what it's like owning a free state two-stamp *assault weapon* like this.

Dont think about gun bullshit, that's all easily ignored, it's the things you cannot control that directly influence quality of life. If you want your vote to matter, for example, NH is best. PA is teetering on the problem of big dump cities running the politics, ME is already light socialist but somewhat predictable.

Looking at work options, 45 min outside Pittsburgh is a choice as well as Lancaster/York area which people say is kinda a dump. No way am I considering anything near Philly ever lol.
 
Step 1 is ditching manufactured concepts like “assault weapon”. It’s just an SBR with a can. And once one owns a few of them the allure wears off. i speak from experience as I’m now back into RC kits since the suppressor boner went limp after ~2 years. but it was a fine boner for those few years!

I can't speak about PA, but New Hampshire and Maine I can. I would move to Maine in a heartbeat except it has 4 things that New Hampshire does not have. 1. sales tax 2. income tax, 3. Home Town Rule, and 4. Legislation by Referendum.

I figure for home defense it would be nice to keep your hearing afterwards.

Probably should use the “poll” function to collect/aggregate responses.

Or ask @Broc, @drgrant or @Reptile - they usually have opinions.

I've been actively searching ME and NH and the discount that Maine offers in property asking prices is more than made up for in what @drgrant and @FisherTech mentioned.

Lol the property is cheaper but it's not millions of dollars. Think of the recurring recovery of revenue vs time. Also your wife and kids are going to eat the commie shit too, so its multiplied. In NH you will recover the difference in probably a decade or less and get a less volatile government to boot.

Also recently, the weird setup of "ranked choice voting" in maine, which can be an asset or a liability depending on how one sees it.

If all you care about are guns, then ME or NH. I am sure PA is also fine, but probably a distant third.

There are so many other things to care about, I won't even bother spending my time typing here since it is clear your view is very shallow and either you haven't done any research, or you haven't put any thought or this thread is just total BS and a waste of time.
 
Ranked choice is something that the Democrats have come up with, which should tell you all you need to know.

NH would be my choice, but only if I couldn't go south. PA has some weird estate laws and some other stuff that benefits lawyers over clients.
 
A suppressor be nice so people don’t call the police all the time and you can keep your hearing, but honestly at this point can any of you here? What!

My neighbor is moving to Maine. Remember the first time he knocked on my door with the clipboard.”you can’t read the f***ing sign and get the f*** off my property”. I’m just sad he’s leaving. He had some question about property pins. I thought I was chasing off a Jehovah’s Witness
 
If Maine, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania went to war against each other, I think that New Hampshire would take a beating from Maine's Navy and a ground assault by Pennsylvania advancing from the south. Ultimately, New Hampshire would be annexed by Maine which would exploit the vast granite deposits found in the Granite State.
Together with an assault from Maine's Navy on the Rivers Susquehanna and Delaware, and Blitzkrieg style ground attack from the former New Hampshire elite motorcycle unit, Pennsylvania would ultimately fall as well.
 
Of the three, NH.

If I wasn't tied to New England by family, I would be back in Alaska. Their gun laws kind of sucks compared to NH, but it was a good place to live.

Unfortunately it's going the wrong way as they just brought in a partial ranked choice system.

Anchorage is getting a lot sketchier than it used to be too.
 
I would pick NH over the other two, but, it’s a purple state and will get bluer as the cities in the southern part of the state get flooded with new arrivals.

By the way, going to NH or ME isn’t leaving New England, they’re both considered New England states.
 
One thing that sucks about PA is their inheritance tax with no floor/exemption.

The tax rate for Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax is 4.5% for transfers to direct descendants (lineal heirs), 12% for transfers to siblings, and 15% for transfers to other heirs (except charitable organizations, exempt institutions, and government entities that are exempt from tax). Property owned jointly between husband and wife is exempt from inheritance tax, while property inherited from a spouse, or from a child aged 21 or younger by a parent, is taxed a rate of 0%.

there is nowhere to run.
true conservatives must get their act together because the socialist left is way ahead right now, in terms of organization and solidarity
and sorry for you, but the attitude of "run away to a free state" is exactly what the left wants you to do.
Just look at what Californians are doing to Idaho right now.
 
So why the hypothetical question? Are you planning on moving or just stroking it over the thought?
I always wanted a can and bought one as soon as I became a Maine citizen but a can was hardly on my radar 27 years ago when we bought our first house up here.
I need the 4 seasons for my personal enjoyment and sanity.
