Europe without the cost, beautiful, and most of all we (wife and I) "fit in"..
wow that is some sweet scenery
It's where we plan on retiring.
Montenegro's gun laws will surprise you. Just about everyone packs concealed handguns. Part of the culture there.

You win! Do they have a local airport. What are travel expense to that destination like?
i read a little more about this place on wiki and it doesn't seem all that bad. There is no Constitutional Right to own guns, but i guess as long as you get them into the country, it will be hard for the gov't to mass confiscate them from everyone.
You know, I've never really thought about this, that much. I feel like I have already "won life's lottery", so It's really not an easy answer, for me. I suppose there are other places in the world where I could be happy, but I'm not sure I could ever find a place where I'd be happier.
I know- that's a weak-ass copout. But it's truly how I feel.
Been there twice. No way in hell would I move there.Beleize.

The firearm laws make California look like a 2nd Amendment paradise. One local told me it took a year to go through all the forms and money under the table to get his permit. Then it was a single handgun. 9mm as no larger caliber is allowed. Forget about getting a rifle.
Then the crime. The homicide rate is 46 per 100,000 which is about 10 times the US national rate of 4.8. To put it in perspective New Orleans has a rate of 51, and Baton Rouge a rate of 30. Chicago is 16 by the way.

Granted most of the cappin' is done in an area south of the Belize City. Drug and human trafficking are driving factors. Nonetheless it was an eye opener to watch the local evening news and get a report of someone being shot nearly every day in a country where few are allowed to have a gun.
I don't think you read right, then.nevermind on new zealand.....their gun laws are terribly restrictive...like California on steroids.

I mean, 1) gun laws being a sole decider of whether a place is livable or not is kind of silly, to a point but
2) They have similar restrictions as we do. You can even buy them through the mail, if the local LEO signs the form verifying you're a licensed owner. They have a similar permission system as we do with a NICS check, it's just that instead of doing it per-gun, they just have a license per-person, and you only have to verify it again if you do a mail-order. I've never heard/read that the police abuse this and restrict ownership, either.
On the big scale of things, they're really not that bad. No NFA shitty restrictions, either.
Actually, in some ways their laws are better than California. It's restrictive, but you can have class 3 to a limited extent (Must be for collector purposes...lol) and you can have suppressors with no paperwork. In fact most of the weapons sold down there come with suppresors on them.
