Thanks for the responses....

If I do move, I am putting the bullet button on my AR

Make sure you use an Off-List Lower (OLL) as well... Since the lower receiver is legally "the gun", and CA's laws specifically ban all AR-15s, you have to get an AR-15 that isn't on the list of AR-15s. I think anything made by Bushmaster and probably Colt are right out, but others just had certain part #s banned. Companies that were lucky enough to have not been put under the blanket ban just have to change part #s and their AR-15s that they legally market and advertise as AR-15s in CA are, legally speaking, within CA, not AR-15s (even though they are). Since the same law that created the list also prohibits modification of the list, you can rest assured your "not an AR-15" AR-15 will never be an AR-15 in CA (even though it is everywhere else in the universe).

"Land of the fruits and the nuts" doesn't even begin to describe it...

He left fairly quick himself, only moved there because the wife got a huge pay increase, something like 70 to 120ish, and they had less each month than they did here. I think they lived there for all of 16 months. I don't think I could do it for one!

Oh it's a great place to live when you're not supporting yourself. I loved it for that last year of high school, and the year and a half of college when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. I still enjoy going to the SF Bay Area to visit my family. But now that I'm fully into the adult years of my life, I do not want to live there. I really think that I'd get run out of town if I stayed for more than a month at a time... I just can't hold my tongue that long. I'd end up helping out with running the sound like I do at every church I attend, which would give me access to a microphone... and there's a real danger that I'd tell off the whole church. I know my dad's pretty conservative theologically speaking so the church my parents attend would be too, but I have no idea what the congregation's political feelings are.

Ok, so I wouldn't really get up there uninvited and start schooling them, but I'd be tempted... sorely... and that's not conducive to a low-stress environment.
