California has odd restrictions on many items due to "cancer causing " chemicals. I could not order a garage door opener I wanted from a company. I bought one off a private ebay seller and it shipped from him into CA no problem. Same with a Ruger Red Label gun case I wanted. Ruger wouldn't ship it too me and an evilbay seller came to the rescue.
I can not wait to leave here.
I left the land of fruits and nuts about 6 years ago. When I left I had a rental car loaded with 40-50 lbs of powder, 20-30k primers, 6 presses, tons of brass, hulls, wads, bullets etc.. I got pulled over in Bakersfield and the officer asked me what was in the trunk, so I said just some reloading supplies, lol, when he had me pop the trunk open, he said holy crap! Turns out he was an avid reloader and had powder/primer envy. Needless to say, I got off with just a warning. :)
 
My buddy called a vendor, and they said they couldn’t ship a press (MEC) to Cali due to some proposition.
Prop 65... Everything sold in CA needs a cancer warning decal. Some company's gave CA the middle finger and wont ship anything to CA! Cant even order a shirt from Academy. For us that need it is Spanish its a bilingual o_O

I think the polititions in California have all used these items in excess and have birth(brain) defects. If we are lucky maybe they will all be unable to reproduce soon.

My wife and I relocated 5 years ago from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornistan to the free state of Texas. Have to admit, freedom is exhilarating! And the cost of living is 50% of what we left behind. Guns are plentiful. Lots of places to shoot. and you can't beat Texas barbeque!
unfortunately, many other Californians did, as well. And those libtards are all voting for other libtards. Austin is now a libtard stronghold. Texas will soon flip, and when it does, America is over.
 
For the change in culture in Austin, look not to California but to academia and the high tech companies in Austin.

Don't forget, Texas and the other southern states were solidly Democratic for 100 years after the Civil War, what was called the "Solid South".
That's exactly right! Austin was a bastion of communism long before the exodus from the PRK. It was all due to academia.

A warning for what?

It was slightly counterbalanced by Bergstrom AFB in the old days. Tactical Air Command. 602DASS. Turned out people that served alongside Army maneuver units like 1st Cav ( at Ft Hood ) and 1st Infantry Div ( at Ft Riley ) and 4th Infantry Div ( at Ft Carson )

In those days the hippies were just getting started though. The Weather Underground was allowed meetings in the Student Union but the majority of students were just kids. Democrat kids. But kids. Texas was a democrat state back then. A little right of JFK maybe but democrat. A Texan communist killed JFK and shocked the world. State went toward Republican after that. Took a while though. Austin stayed behind and the refugees from growing conservative values came in. Swamped the place.
