Denver was a pretty decent city in my youth. Unfortunately, the displaced transplants from the Pacific Coast have pretty much ruined the front range. Every time I go home on leave I get sickened by what I see. How I long for the CO of my youth, but it exists no more.
To those in WY, I offer the suggestion of looking at CO and take notes. Don't let what happened to my native state happen to yours. When someone walks up and says they are from CA, tell them in no uncertain words that they simply are not welcome. Once they settle in for the long haul, you're royally screwed. Don't believe me, look to the South!

At least give a chance is all I'm asking.

Your post was directly below mine in which I pointed out I couldn't find any stats to say one way or another how many crimes in Wyoming were committed by blacks or not. One might assume your post was directed at me but then again, it might not. If your post was directed towards me, you would be pretty much wrong on all accounts.
I've never thought I was "always safe" which is why I carry a gun often (partly out of habit). I have never lived in St. Louis or Chicago but from what I've read, both (especially Chicago) could rival many middle eastern countries for violence. I don't know how St. Louis treats gun rights but have read that Chicago is pathetic towards gun rights and has a lot of corruption/incompetence issues. I have driven through Harlem, etc. in NY and am familiar with the "cracker" comments--there is a lot of racism in some black communities.
My family has never been attacked but I have. I'm still here and some of them are in jail, prison or just gone. I don't "imagine a fairy tale" but do feel quite blessed. I didn't "fall" for the Obama lie although he's told so many that you might need to be more specific.
Again, I don't know if your comment was aimed directly at me but I have answered in case it was. I have been accused of many things but never liberal (at least so far).

Which I hope was kidding.
I'll be more careful next time

Flags,
You can be sure that WY does not want what CO has. With the obvious exception of Jackson of course. It was lost long ago.
The Californicators have driven prices so high there that state employees who have to live and work there get an extra stipend to cover the ridiculous cost if living. Otherwise there would be no one to carry out state government functions in that area. You can't live there on a normal state salary.

And in little towns like mine everything is overpriced so I buy very little here and make a trip to a bigger town every so often and stock up at lower prices. These little towns that make most of their money off summer tourists and fall hunters tend to price gouge. We year round residents just have to deal with it.

Yeah, we get gouged here too. It's a town that is supported by rafting. We're right on the Arkansas River.
I still love it here though. It's like Mayberry. Even the cops will wave at you. They don't have much else to do.
