New From New York

Post by dsbock »

Hello to the forum. Thanks to Governor Cuomo and the anti Civil Rights legislature of New York, my plans to emigrate to Virginia have been moved up. I am a political refugee.

We are looking at moving to the Amelia / Powhatan area within the next year. Any information of locations to look at /avoid is very welcome. We would prefer something more rural to suburban. My ideal would be enough land to safely shoot on my own property. I work in the computer field (Applications Trainer / Graphic Designer) so high speed internet is a requirement at home.

I am a volunteer with the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association here and plan to volunteer with the VCDL one we move. I'm also a volunteer firefighter and hope to continue that service in Virginia as well.

I look forward to being a valuable member of this forum and whatever community we move to in Virginia.

Welcome aboard, David. I don't know anything at all about the Powhatan area, but I do wish you the best. Hopefully you can get out of New York before Cuomo comes knocking on your door and demanding relinquishment!

As suggested, I started a new thread in the Richmond sub-forum.

I'm from Deer Park, in Suffolk county.

Feels weird typing that out, I haven't given it a thought in years!

Not as weird as the snickers I've gotten since moving to VA when I mention having lived in "Hicksville", NY

By the way, I also lived in Deer Park for a while right off of Deer Park Ave.
