If you like Chinese and Japanese food then you may or may not run into issues. Since it is a more well known town in TN you might be able to find one or two of those though. Yeah, so far I have only dreamed of what BBQ over an actual wood fire tastes like from one of those guys.
Yeah, I'm big time into guns too and that is one of my main reasons of wanting to move as well. 1911's, shotguns, revolvers and bolt actions are about the only things that don't have to jump through hoops to be California-legal. Every time I go to Oregon or Nevada I get the feeling of the day I turned 21 where I can legally drink alcohol from looking at the standard-capacity magazines and ARs/AKs without the bullet-button. Those guys in the stores always get a kick out of Californians coming in and realizing how free the other states are.
The more I say, the more I'm actually getting really jealous.

Yeah I like the bullet button it's a joke.
Oh and Sommer, yeah sorry man I wasn't sure if you were back in town or not I saw your posts on that book of faces about being in Florida, dude I know my Grandma is from new York and did like all the other old New Yorkers and retired in Florida. She called to let us know she just had her very first Case-a-deeya at least that was how she wrote it in her text message then she called to verify if that was the correct spelling.
Dude no joke I am looking forward to grits and apple butter, that is some legit breakfast if you order it with Biscuits and Gravy.

Yeah you know they are expanding the list of illegal guns for CA right? Rock Island Tactical 2 1911's are not on the approved list, there are a lot of 1911's now not on the approved list because of that new law regarding changes to the gun and how the manufacturer has to ID the gun.

Since Ruger and Smith are not going to be applying to put anymore of their guns for sale that is gonna hurt big time too. I can't even sell my old Ruger to any gun stores because of it. Luckily though I'm going to sell it to a coworker and that is still fine. Just gonna use the extra money for a Glock 30 if my CCW app gets approved. I just couldn't stomach that stupid magazine disconnect safety in a gun that I plan to use for protection.
They just have an ***-backwards way of trying to put their band-aid on problems... At least for the rest of this year we still have the SSE work around to get whatever gun we want. My brother bought a Walther PPQ because of that loophole!

Oh yeah the stupid micro-stamping the firing pin deal. Yeah I don't know of a single company that is actually going to do that. So basically all of the handguns that were designed before whatever date that was that they put the law into effect are gonna be the only ones people in California can legally have. So insane... If a gun has a magazine disconnect safety, it is not a 1911.

Wow the magazine disconnect safety is just retarded. So glad to be moving.
Good for you Adam, I'm everything is going to be better out there for you. I have no regrets moving out of California, I'm doing better and I don't stress as much. Good luck to you out there and I hope you settle in Quick, which is the only hard part.

Congratulations on choosing personal freedom over Kalifornia's Un-American, over regulated ways! I hope you truly enjoy your new home out of California!
I only wish I could afford to do the same; enjoy!
