Which state to live in?
I spent a year in Colorado one week. Man was it cold! It might have been pretty, but who could tell under all the snow.
The long and short of it is simple, you gotta know what's best for you.
I like Ohio, except in the urban areas, it's a pretty damn nice place. no one messes with you,and we have CCW and open carry.
I also love the south, not Florida so much, but it's better there in Jan than it is in Ohio.
