Unfortunately, as I’m half Mexican, I’m sure the Aryan Nation folks up in the deep Idaho woods would NOT appreciate me owning a big chunk of land, former Navy guy or not.
I’d love to move to Texas, where everyone is armed and, hence, polite. It will be safe in Texas during tough times. It won’t be safe in California, until Californians wise up and realize that, in troubled, troubled times, folks act desperately and that you need to be armed and prepared to act. Otherwise, bad folks will assume that you are a pushover waiting to be shaken down or robbed.
