JasonL Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Just wondering if there are any folks who follow the NAP in the area who would like to meet others who strive toward rational thought. At present, I only know three regular FDR listeners in the area but it would be nice to network. PM me and we'll talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa McWilliams Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm in NorCal, but I'm looking to move to the Carson City area and get out of Commiefornia in a couple years. (That's why my avatar only shows a 10-round magazine.) I've been there a couple times within this year, and I've done a little research on overall cost of living, but don't know much else. How do you like it there? Pros, cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonL Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm in NorCal, but I'm looking to move to the Carson City area and get out of Commiefornia in a couple years. (That's why my avatar only shows a 10-round magazine.) I've been there a couple times within this year, and I've done a little research on overall cost of living, but don't know much else. How do you like it there? Pros, cons? Hi Melissa, I am originally from eastern Canada and I work all over the world but I've been living here for 8 years now and I really like the area. The libertarian mindset of Nevada is changing in that like all states, the population heavy city of Vegas runs everything so we're feeling the effects of it being so heavily union infected and during the housing boom a lot of people sold their homes in CA and moved over the hill since they could buy here for much less and still be close to their beloved "progressive" state which resulted in clashes between new homeowners in the area and locals on things like shooting in the desert etc. to the point that "I don't care how it was done in California" bumper stickers became quite common. If you're on this board then you probably accept the concept that politics is nonsense but I just wanted to point out that it isn't the place with the brothels, no state income tax and mind your business attitude it was and political BS is being pushed more each day. For me the cons beyond proximity to CA are that I find summer too hot, the desert can play sinus havoc and I miss being in wooded areas. On the other hand, I've met quite a few people who moved from CA to get away from the crazy taxation and regulation. I like the high desert weather with not much snow making it past Tahoe while still having that winter oasis so close. If you're into skiing then the proximity of Tahoe is a huge plus with the obvious downside being 2/3 of it being CA. The area has a road course for motorcycle and car with multiple trackdays in Fernley about 1/2 hr east of Reno. Lots of off road motorcycle riding also. Because of the casino industry and Tahoe this small 1/2 million population area has more concerts and entertainment events than a lot of places far more populated so you get the benefit of both worlds. In terms of arms, that is one of the reasons I moved to Nevada since lots of desert gives some options for easy access to shooting. There are 3 clubs in the area with a Carson city club, Stillwater in Fallon (about an hour east of Reno or Carson City) and Western Nevada Pistol League at the Washoe range 1/2hr north of Reno. While I prefer the desert as we usually set up an EZup and make a day of it every couple of weekends, the club can be fun too and I try to get a couple of IDPA matches in during the year. The nice thing about the desert is we can set up and ring steel at long ranges. The Washoe range has 600 and 1000 yard ranges too but it is only on certain days. We have a couple of local remanufacturers for ammo (Jack Ross & Titan Arms) along with a few good local shops along with the sportsman's warehouse, Scheels and Cabela's retail chains. If you're in our neck of the woods perhaps you'll come shoot a match or something and if you move, bring on the 40 round PMAGs. Well, since motorcycles, skiing and shooting are my three main hobbies they are the ones I mentioned but I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you have if I can. Like all places there are pros & cons but what I see as a pro, you may see as a con so it's a personal thing. Shoot me a PM if you like, I'm all for anyone who is into liberty moving this way.

Batchain Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 We've been gathering quite a little pile of anarchists out here in Reno Nevada. If you live in the area, PM me or Jason (the OP) and we'll arrange a get together. We've found it's been pretty nice having some other freedom lovers around, we're always up for meeting more!
