I can tolerate cold weather and slippery roads, but I am sick and tired of Illinois politics.

It's time to find a warmer, firearm friendly, place to live.

Certainly understand that! Lived in Chicago suburbs for 20 years. :(

I am happy where I live weather wise. I was raised in Wisconsin and enjoy the seasons. I know live in the Chicagoland area and still enjoy the seasons. My children are here as well, so I have no desire to move. My wife and I have lived in a number of places during out marriage and just the other day when it was below zero fahrenheit and we were walking home from lunch my wife said she didn’t think the temperature was that bad! She enjoys winters as well!

Yeah, we could use some global warming here, too.

I've spent most of my life in a small Illinois village near the Wabash River. Wife & I have been married for 48 years. I have always been happy here and never really had thoughts of leaving until recently - mostly due to the political climate. I have watched Illinois politicians dig a hole so deep it will impossible to climb out.
There is really no way of leaving right now, however. My mother has alzeihmer's and I had to put her in a facility about 12 miles away. I see her 4 days a week. My wife's mother also has alzeihmer's and she is in a facility 18 miles away. We see her 3 days a week. I would also hate to part with the farm land we have (it has been in the family since 1850) but our recent tax assessments raised 44% to 67%.

One day at a time!

I love where i live, on the water. Boat house, boat dock, fishing in my backyard. Beautiful wife, 3 great kids and 8 awesome grand kids. I love my corvettes and going camping all over the great state of Texas. I am blessed beyond expectations, oh and 1 great Henry rifle soon to be multiples.
