Arizona gets my vote. Open carry has never been banned there, so LEO's are pretty hip and OK with it. I love the fact that they have the stones to buck the feds, too. It will probably be the first to secede, if any of them do.
I can only hope =)
In all fairness, we get some of our ideas from other places. The whole thing about guns made/sold/kept within the state being exempt from federal regulation thing was started by Montana, for example. Permit-less concealed carry certainly got some influence from Vermont and Alaska. I'm not sure where the illegal immigration thing truly spawned, although I think we did do a damn fine job of putting it center stage on the plate of national affairs =)
Unfortunately we slack in the realm of quality education and fiscal responsibility. We're working on fixing that though...
