I would like to add besides 2nd Amendment friendly I want rivers and lakes close to fish and trees. If there is no water and trees don't grow there I find it depressing.

I could live anywhere with decent hunting, good fishing, and good economic opportunities.
What's amazing to me is how many people live in areas, wish for something better, but don't do what they have available. Doers tend to do stuff no matter where they are at. And people who make excuses and don't really get out much do the exact same thing no matter where they are. This is a good point. I had a mentor who told me there is no bad place to live in America, but there are a lot of bad jobs. A bit of hyperbole, but the point is solid. Reached the milestone in life now, where I don't have to live somewhere I don't want to

Lots of great places to live. New England, the south, PNW…..I’d probably skip much of the mid west. Western Dakotas and Nebraska are cool though. I could do that.
Shame CA is so politically perverted. It would hands down be my #1 choice.
As it is, I’ll happily make SC work. I’d like to be in a place to split time in the future. Cali is probably the most awesome state by far. (Sorry Texas, it's not even close) Except for the people, even then it's like many states. A small area controls the whole state. What's not to like in Cali (except people). Big mountains, desert, ocean, whatever weather that trips your trigger. Damn near anything, geography wise, the entire country offers. But then, there are the people. (The bad ones, not some of our members)

I've only lived in NY and Nebraska. Had no money when I was in Nebraska (air force).
I planned on looking at Boise in 2014 but things changed. Easier to pick where I would live.
I'd pick a red state with the low heat and humidity. What does that leave,
Yes:
SD, UT, MT, WY, ID
Maybe
NE, IA, TX, ND, TN, MO, NV, WV, NH
NO:
The rest

Number one on anyone's list should be New Jersey, Most states have a least one redeeming quality. Not Jersey. That being said . I am convinced life is better for me where I am , no stress , less people and plenty of hunting and fishing, though I do wish there were more panfish to eat............

I’ll make it simple. Only states would live in.
Oklahoma
Texas
Arkansas
Idaho
Maybe Kansas
Maybe Louisiana
Maybe Alabama
Indiana appears to be a conservative state but it’s surrounded buy the bad guys. Interesting choices. Southern Indiana along the Ohio River looks pretty good. But they get a lot more snow than we do down South. DF

Only states I would consider are Alaska, Tennessee, Kentucky, Montana, and Idaho. Of all the states I previously lived in, Colorado and Pennsylvania and Washington I absolutely detest due to the taxes and politics.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Washington. I was born here. Left at 18, came back at 54 and I do not recognize this place. Luckily I'm only 20 or so miles from the Free America (Idaho) border. Seriously wishing that I had bought over there instead of here.
