Well, not surprising that the people's republic of california has more hoops.

P.S. Nope, never lived in CA, never will.

If you try to get a CCW in CA they will make you jump through thousands of hoops then deny your request anyway

BTW you should try the weather here, it's great

I wouldn't do that crap in Georgia. They might very well have a gun in the glovebox (legally) and decide you are threatening them. Not a pretty sight. I'm so glad I left CA! People here are MUCH more polite.
Amen brother!

While this is getting off topic; it is not impossible to get a conealed weapons permit in California. It all depends on the county you live in and the sheriff of that county. In Tehema county for instance it is very easy. Just go down the the Sheriff Dept, fill out an application, pay your $200, take a course, and get your permit. This site has information by county: http://www.californiaconcealedcarry.com/counties.html

While it seems that the rural countuies are more lax about the permit, it isn;t impossible in other counties.

i moved to texas 7 years ago. People always seem to drive friendly. Maybe it is because we have easy access to ccw and you just never know who you flip/cut off, so you better be polite!

I'll stay in New England. A cool 54 degrees right now. Not bad for the middle of the day in August. Not to rub it in or anything since I know you guys south of DC (especially NC) are probably melting.

Yea, who would drive a PoS like that anyway???

You hit the nail on the head Lance. I don't want to turn this into a political debate so I'll just stop there.

Well, even 'deep pockets' Daimler-Benz gave up on Chrysler, that should speak volumes for the brand . . .

Walk from home to car = 6 seconds
Walk from car to work = 24 seconds
Walk the above in reverse = 30 seconds
A/C everywhere else = priceless.
