You got Texas right.

Or

You could retire to South Dakota, where:

1) everyone does the 'South Dakota wave' when you raise one finger (you pick) as someone passes by on the road

2) you can actually fire really cool fireworks, legally

3) you must have a block heater in your car if you stay past Oct 1

4) you may have to barter with Danes, block headed Norwegians and even some Germans - who the else would live here?

And lastly,

5) you might have to respond to your neighbor when they ask you to come over to their outhouse and say 'you need to come and see this!'

Well OBVIOUSLY it would be totally inappropriate to bring your 12-gauge to the local two-step dance floor... it would just get in the way! ;) You'd want a nice pretty little pocket pistol or a revolver for that sort of thing. But if you brought those to the community boar hunt, you'd be laughed right out of town!
 
Or you could retire to Utah where green jell-o with shredded carrots is a delicacy.

You are from California and ashamed to admit it.

Traffic is getting all those idiot Nevada drivers to keep right except to pass.

Otherwise it is pretty good here.
