And Im not getting any work in my current trade, machine tool repair.

So Ive been looking around a bit at other states for employment..and
Id like to ask you folks for your input.

California's Inland Empire, including Riverside, San Bernardino
and Ontario, ranked second to Detroit among larger areas with an
unemployment rate of 14.6% in October.

As in El Centro, the agricultural workforce in Yuma, Ariz., is
impacted by the extreme heat, and the city has the second-highest
rate overall at 23.5%, a slight drop from 24.3% in September.

The metro areas with the lowest unemployment rates in September
were all in North Dakota, with Bismarck at 2.8%, followed by
Fargo and Grand Forks, each at 3.5%.

Large cities with the lowest jobless rates were the Washington,
D.C., metro area at 6.2% and Oklahoma City and the Virginia Beach
area at 6.5%.

Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks also offer excellent varmint shooting
nearby, and thus a market and customer base for an excellent gunsmith.
The climate shouldn't be a deterrent to a former yooper. You'd yust
need to relearn tolerance for shivering.

Indeed. And Sturgis is becoming quite a manufacturing center for
firearms and related industry. Seems a number of companies have left
the East and are relocating to Sturgis etc.

So the two states appear friendly to both manufacturing and firearms

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

Hey Gunner: Just remember If the outside air is too cold to enjoy a cold
beer, immediately adjust your compass to read SOUTH then press on the
accelrator..
