Always shouts out something obscene
Don't ask me, I think the ocean and beach are the best places in the entire world. When I ask he mumbles off stuff about it having water in it or something, regardless, it never makes sense.
Well then you guys picked the right state to live in.
Crowded.
The people are douchey.
Their firearm laws are retarded.
They did this to the AR15..
Too much traffic.
By being a gun owner in California and paying state taxes you are effectively funding the restriction of your own rights.
I can't concealed carry there.
I can't open carry there.
Paris Hilton lives in California.
Yup.
Well, go right ahead then, Mr. FaggyMcDoucheypantsfagman.
Near impossible.
I would think the neutered mag capacity, and AWB sillyness would piss him off more
Yup.
As I have always understood it you have to give any CLEO a "good/justifiable reason" in order for them to sign off on a CCW. A "good reason" being:
- I'm a woman, look at my tits.
- I carry lots of cash for my business, here's a bribe.
- I'm rich, here's a bribe.
If that's not the case still then I guess the joke is on me. Calolifornia still sucks regardless.

The beach is a whole other matter. It's a combination of things that irritate me (in a very real and literal sense).

I like the AB in the GB
The fires don't tend to reach this area. They're mostly in San Diego or up in NorCal. I mean, if my apartment were caught in a forest fire, that would be a disaster to top Katrina a dozen times over. There is so much pure wall of city between here and any of the fire areas. This densely populated knot doesn't have an unplanted tree for 100 miles.
Santa Ana is definitely the most ghetto part. Tustin and Costa Mesa are like the more ghetto versions of Newport Beach and Irvine. But the thing is, Newport and Irvine are really nice cities; Costa Mesa and Tustin aren't that bad.
This is all assuming you're talking about "The OC" sort of thing and not actually surveying the entire county. It stretches far enough east that I wouldn't really consider it "near the beach" over on the east edge.

... that was surprisingly fun to type out ...
Driving from Irvine into Santa Ana is a trip. @_@ You have like 500 major company's nice headquarters and 2 million dollar homes, and then one of the worst ghettos I've ever seen. Seriously, I bet you fully half of the residents of that city are illegal immigrants.
I lived in So. Cal for a little while, Costa Mesa to be exact. I loved it over there. If I could of afforded it, I would have stayed. It is insanely expensive to live there.
I never really had a problem with the traffic, but I rarely went to L.A. during "rush hour". I really enjoyed the people, the climate and the opportunity to just do a lot of things out there. There always seems to be something going on.

My kid has been out there for a week on vacation, and he's already hit the OC fair, taken a hot-air balloon ride, watched a movie on the beach at Newport dunes, and gone to Catalina Island. wtf. I want to be a part of that. Dallas sucks.
Also, I've looked through hundreds and hundreds of real estate listings for Orange County at this point. I'm dumbfounded. 700 sq. foot condos from the early 1970s for $150,000. I could buy a house in Dallas that was built 10 years ago for that kind of money. Not to mention the small, completely average homes for 700,000 and up.
Don't all states do that?
I have a federal, state, and TWO city income taxes. Property tax (to city). Sales tax (of 8%) to state and city.
And for all that money I have the most dangerous city per capita in the country. OC sounds like a nice safe place.
