    If you want to move here, then actually move here. Don't "buy some land" to come shoot and enjoy what we've fought for while still staying "within X distance" of the motherland. Buy a home, change your residence, give up on NJ. That means it's your primary residence, no concerns about staying "close enough". And please, for goodness sake, don't enjoy our hard-won liberty then turncoat and be voting for the same things that made NJ the shithole it has become. We see WAAAAY too much of that.

    ^^^This.^^^

    I live in Northampton County. Except for making me wait the full 45 days for my LTCF to get approved, and taking 29 days to renew mine, the Sheriff's department was ok to deal with. They are sticklers about one of the three forms of residence. I had to pay $3 to get a duplicate of my Voter Registration because I misplaced my original.

    Many and perhaps most NJ "conservatives" are conservative only by NJ standards, which is a low bar.
    Without proper vetting it's too risky.

    Took me 15 min to get my LTCF, but I live over the mountains far away from liberal coast.

    You mean like my "conservative, republican" in-laws in NJ... The ones who are horrified that I own a gun and think guns should be illegal?

    Yes, precisely. I've known far too many like that. They're democrats that don't want to pay high taxes or support the welfare state. Pretty much everything else is on the table.

    MMMmmm. Dubious. Look at the OP. I think Berncly nailed it: this is someone looking for a plot of land in easy drive-time from NJ. That doesn't sound like establishing -actual- residency here / committing to the place. More like someone treating us like a gun-club.

    And IME those are the first ones to vote for "common sense" gun laws even so. The voting history of such sorts is not good. I know plenty of NY & NJ friends who are 'conservative republicans' and have a 'Poconos' "primary residence" while still actually living in the other state. They come up for weekends in the summer, use it as their 'primary residence' to take advantage of lower car insurance, etc. But they're ONLY conservative by PRNYNJ standards. They're the first to turn around and lose their minds if someone shoots off fireworks on the 4th, then go rally to outlaw them. They're the first to flip out if someone walks into the local qwik-e-mart open carrying and immediately set off to get guns "under control." Bill of Rights? Not so much. The see it as a "historical document that needs to be 'interpreted' (AKA ignored when I want to) for the modern era"...

    One is my brother-in-law, who took a 'country place' he inherited in PA and made it his 'primary residence' about 3 years ago... Though he still actually lives in NJ. A life-long NJ Republican, he's voted Democrat every time since "moving" here and changing his registration. He told me why too: "Your Republicans are scary. Your Democrats are kinda like our Republicans. So I really didn't change at all."... Exactly. NJ = NJ. (And note that 3 years in it's still "yours" and "ours"). They don't want/need/expect to 'change'... Just bring the same socialist shit here and make it into shit. Same as the immigrants who struggle to get here from their shithole country, then want everything changed to make it like their original country (women here don't drape bed-sheets over their heads, Habib, capisce?)

    I'm not anti-immigrant (be it internal or external) at all. But if you're moving, assimilate, because the reason you want to move here was created by and is based on how the people are here. If you don't want to assimilate, don't move.

    So this OP -may- be a rock-ribbed conservative who really is tired of living in redland. That's why I said "if you're gonna move here, actually move here"... But on the surface of it, his post really sounds more like the typical "Hey, it's a nice weekend place AND we can get cheaper car insurance, but we're not really gonna, you know... MOVE THERE." poseur.

    I'm eager to hear what he has to say on the matter when he favors us with a response.

    Even worse, they're so short-sighted they start to make even the taxes and welfare state shit happen. They buy a house here that's 3x the size of their $900,000 rancher in NJ, they pay $3K a year taxes on it instead of the $24K they were paying there, and then they start saying things like "Oh, so if my taxes go up a little it's still cheap and we really should help the ____________ (insert boo-hoo cause here) out...

    Lets not paint all NJ asylum seekers that way.

    Some of us truly want little to no govt and little to no firearm laws.

    And I'm NYC escapee (not a native though) who agrees. I'm not painting them all that way. I'm simply saying we've seen too much of it to not have some healthy skepticism.

    And again, I didn't say "stay in NJ"... I said "Stay in NJ... or move here for real."
