Gonna be moving, need some suggestions

[MikeS.]

We’ve decided that island 🏝 living isn’t for us. We’ve been looking to move to the greater lake Lure, Hendersonville, Tryon, Landrum area. We don’t want a big city but not in a spot in the road either. A few miles outside of town is fine, would like to have some elbow room from any neighbors.

I’d like to have a Costco and a gun range, not necessarily next door but let’s say in a 50 mile radius of the house. Decent medical care has become a need as well. Need decent internet access too. Price range of about $350K

So a couple of questions;

Are there any big advantages to living in North vs South Carolina? Cheaper taxes? Quality of health care? Crazy gun laws?(still waiting on my latest PPPs to come through). But those are better than ATF delaying me all of the time because of my security clearance.

Thanks guys

Can’t speak on the taxes, but you don’t need a pistol purchase permit in NC if you have concealed carry permit.

Your clearance won't be a big deal once you retire.
No PPP in SC. You may want to research if your retirement benefits will be taxed.

Property’s cheaper down here and we don’t have a Democrat Gov….just saying.

SC - NO CAR INSPECTION

How much is the sales tax? Vehicle taxes? Is the state trending purple or red😒

You don't need a pistol purchase permit at all in SC.

I'm sorry, am I missing something here? I would think a security clearance would be a plus. What's the deal?

I agree on the security clearance issue. But I’ve been told that is why further review from both Joan the gal that answers the phone and from a 2nd level manager.

I’m waiting on a complete AR lower to come in, 1st long gun I’ve bought since moving to NC. So it’s been 6 years, will be interesting to see if it will happen again.

The one good thing about PPPs. No call to ATF.

Well that makes absolutely no sense, but then come to think of it dealing with the government it makes perfect sense.

Pretty reasonable living in Wilkes county, but Id also consider West Jefferson. Shoot on your land. Costco in hickory or winston...fiber optic webz, good health care (IME). Small town living. Murica.
