It's time for my family to leave Colorado.... Moving to Idaho

[Aloha_Shooter]

The more the Democrats do to Colorado, the less unhappy I am about the prospect of moving back home (Hawaii). If I have to put up with a socialist anti-gun government, at least I can do it in a place where I can pick fresh papaya or mango off the tree for breakfast.

Pueblo is not what I expected. Been here 20 years. Watch the video before you move here. I was living on ocean front property before moving here.

Not a bad choice there I tell ya.
There are some beautiful looking land.

Will you be back to run the Colorado State Match and resurrect the Mile High Showdown?

Nope. Running those events takes a tremendous amount of effort over many months. It would be 10 times more difficult to run those matches remotely from a different state. Someone else locally will need to step up and make it happen in 2026 if they want to sign up for the challenge.

I was born in Pueblo, much of my family still there - it's tough to see what has happened... Most of my family has moved to Pueblo West to get further from the chaos...

You'll be right by Coeur D’ Alene. One of my best friends visited there a couple of months ago and fell in love with the place. I must admit, everything he said, plus the pics got both my wife and I thinking it might not be a bad place to live. But, as with others, kids and grandkids are keeping us here.

I wish you the best of luck and hope it's everything you hope it will be.

Keep in mind that Idaho has internet service too and you'll still be a few mouse clicks away from this site.

If standing up for my morals and refusing to continually have my 2A Rights eroded means I am "Running Away" then so be it. I have tried my best to fight for my rights, Vote, Pay my Taxes, and volunteer in the local community. At some point we all need to call the situation what it is based on the facts and track record, accept the loss and move on.

If others think that the current train wreck we call Colorado can be tuned around and made better in a meaningful manner, more power to you. I really do hope that this current sad state of affairs will improve. I am simply not willing to keep investing my $$$ and Time into a State that has been in a terminal nose dive for decades. You can Hope in one hand and Shit in the other then see which one fills up first.

Congrats, wasn't looking to leave the state anytime soon, but DOGE gave me an opportunity and I took it. Haven't looked back since we left.

Exactly. I heard the same shit when I left. That was over 10 years ago. How has all that "I'll stay and fight" bullshit worked out for Colorado? Well, it hasn't. It's a full-blown leftist paradise now. Gun rights have been in a terminal dive in those 10 years along with the nanny-state becoming even more powerful. I'm pretty sure a few of the loudmouths that berated me for "running away" have moved out of state as well. Funny how that happens.

Idaho is an awesome state. You'll love it.

Congrats and I'm jealous.

I figure I have 8 years to prep for a move, that's when our oldest grandson will finish HS. The youngest is in TX.

It will take that long to finish all the projects and declutter now that I've (partly) retired. Wife will work maybe 3-5 more years.

Problem is we're all running out of places to escape to that are affordable, conservative, and weather acceptable.
