If someone wants to move to a state because they like the state motto, so be it! The flaming arogance need to tell someone what they cant make a personal decision apon is over the top to me. But, hey I like that little thing called personal freedom.

A few things that might help posters in giving me advice or recommendations on where to move include some of what I'm looking for. I don't fit the profile of the average guy looking to move. I don't have a family, I'm in my early 20's, never had a decent job, cold weather doesn't bother me too much, etc. I have worked for less than minium wage many times before, soI don't need much to be happy. I am first and foremost a Christian, a firm believer in the 2nd ammendment in it's original form, and a die hard hunter.
Some things I'm really looking for:
I'de stronglyprefer astate that allows hound hunting for bears and cats. A lot of liberalism has crept into many states and people have this weird idea that using hounds is unsportsman like. They think you just turn a dog loose and he tracks and kills animals for you. They don't realize the work, effort and even a little luck involved in this strenous, and difficult sport.
I NEED a state that allows open carry. Be nice if it was allowed in the car without a permit. Enough said.
I NEED a state that allows concealed carry. The less places the state lists as off limits the better. The less expensive the licensing the better. Also the less training, fingerprinting, waiting etc. the better.I like states that have either no licensing requirements (Alaska, Vermont), or over the counter states (Pennsylvania, New Hampshire) with no wait or fingeprints, maybe even cheaper fees (i.e., not TX or SC's ridiculous fees.) Lifetime license are cool too, but not necessary (I think NY and IN have them?)
I also like states that allow NFA stuff, even though I don't have any yet. It is a distant goal of mine to collect a few pieces.
Anyone have any comments or recommendations? Thanks for any help as I really am not yet sure where I want to go, but this thread may help me choose.
You seem kind of, uhm, focused on the guns thing.
What kind of requirements do you have on career field, education, schools, housing selection, cost of living, access to resources needed, etc.?
Maybe consider narrowing the field to 4 or 5 states that best meet all your non-gun needs (more important, usually), then weed out the states that have onerous gun laws.
Guns really can't be the # 1 criterion in going through an important decision process such as yours...
Good luck.
