I have thought many times about it. Folks who decided to go live down there seem to speak pretty highly of it. Knowing where not to go seems to be a common theme, but beyond that they feel, and seem to be, safe. I hear that the people don't much care for the government, however they also suggest that, for the most part, the government leaves them alone. I just won't go anywhere that I am unable to take all of my belongings with me. ALL of them. So Texas will be as close as I ever get, more than likely .
