      They actually have open carry there, which really surprises me.

        "Because it's pretty there." My response - "Life isn't pretty anywhere. Deal with it."

          Sure if you can put up with the 6 months of dreary, overcast rainy days that makes it "pretty" then sure....

            Send her out here around Christmas time for an extended stay to see if she likes it then. The winters usually cause most people from sunnier parts of the country to move home. It isn't cold, but not seeing the sun on account of the perpetual overcast really gets to people -- pitch black out by 4pm, no daylight until after 9am -- moving here around the winter solstice was a real shock. If she can't stand a month out here over that part of the year, moving here would be an extreme mistake. And yes, we do actually get 40 days and nights of continual rain every couple of years.

            We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

                    That's a pretty long way to move. It's about the same distance that Putin would have to move to be my next door neighbour...

                      The city of Portland and a few others do not allow open carry FWIW. You are legally allowed if you have a concealed weapon permit, but expect to be harassed and detained in one of the cities not allowing open carry even with your concealed permit.

                          What I find disturbing is that "localities" can override state law. this is especially confusing and troubling when carrying in your car. In Texas, your car is not considered a "public place", but is instead considered to be an extension of your home.

                              Be careful of OC in Oregon. Cities have the (unconstitutional) state code "legal" authorization to ban OC, such as Oregon City, Portland, Astoria, etc. A major majority of central and eastern counties & cities have no such "infringement". Though, unlike Oregon where you can CC on school grounds, in Idaho such is prohibited unless explicit authorization is given by the school board (an executive branch entity which has not the state constitutional authority to 'legislate' such).

                                  No it ain't. I used to work with a guy that was big into boats. You would think that Portland would be a great place to have a boat to go out on the sunny summer weekends. So, he bought a brand new ski boat in 2009 (I think, my memory is going). Well he couldn't take it out the first year. The second year was much better, he got to take his boat out 3 times during the summer. Not sure about the 3rd year. I moved out of Oregon about then. The year after I moved out of Oregon/Washington, was the year he sold his boat. A fire fighter I knew up there was a Harley rider. Him and his wife rode to Sturgis every year. Last I heard he was real tired of only being able to ride his bike 4 or 5 times during the year. YMMV.

                                    but, but, you can see Russia from Oregon. (to quote a famous person)

                                    I believe she said Alaska, not Oregon. And depending on your exact location (the Bering Strait), the time of year and how clear the weather is, you actually can see Russia from Alaska. After all, the Strait is only 51 miles (82 km) wide.

                                      What I find disturbing is that "localities" can override state law. this is especially confusing and troubling when carrying in your car. In Texas, your car is not considered a "public place", but is instead considered to be an extension of your home.

                                      If you move, you could always show proof that the law violates your rights, sue, go to the legislature and then win. We did that here, State to overturn local open-carry laws[^]

                                          You see could the beach of Cape Dezhnev if you stood on top of a 530m high tower at Cape Prince of Wales (give or take a few meters, my math is a bit rusty). Earth curvature you know. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Little and Big Diomede islands, but they're only 2.4 miles apart
