Welcome, I feel your pain, Long Beach Peninsula here. Keep the faith
Welcome, I was born and raised in SE Portland. Worked in and around Portland as a cop for 39 years. My wife and I had a lovely beach house to retire too near Long Beach. Washington and Oregon became too much with no better lives in the future for me.
I retired sold both homes and moved to Idaho. I hated to leave, I felt I gave up for my city and state. At 64 years old others need to keep up the fight, we left. Blood pressure is low now, and I enjoy life again living in a crime free community and low tax state.

Welcome from Southern Oregon. Lots of red down here but no where near enough to vote down the blue… We used to go to Portland for the weekend before the SHTF. Not any more… Keep the faith and again, Welcome!

I too have lived here all my life, if it weren’t for my wife wanting to stay here would have left years ago…
I have 2 grown sons but not any grand kids. That made leaving easier. Everyone I worked with moved out of the metro area, most out of state upon retiring. The few that stayed, mostly because they have grandkids nearby and I understand them staying. My sons visit by a 7 plus hour drive or fly into Boise on a 1 hour flight.

All you new members, what's your range of choice? How far do you go to shoot?
Welcome aboard from a little further South in Sweethome.

Range is a little over an hour away, but there is usually no one there weekday mornings, unless the Coast Guard is training, which is a lot of fun to watch, they get the main range, pistol and rifle ranges open
