I live in cali. TRUST ME IT SUCKS. If you like hippies and liberals you'll be right at home though.....
Gain??? Other than better weather I can't think of much. California has the best weather and great geography (outdoors, mountains, beaches, etc.) however the political climate, anti-gun liberal politicians, high cost of living, excessive regulation, and many other issues overshadow these benefits for most people.

great surf, cute gals, every outdoor sport imaginable---new Prius--New Boyfriend.
gain tax rates and a brand new state tax to further lower your wages.
Depending on how much you make, the real upside is you will be able to see, every day, who gets the 56% of your income that comes out in taxes.
It depends where in CA.....
Some of the state has AWESOME year round weather..... other areas are the same as dallas....
Hills and mountains.....
If you are going to a "job" and living in a "Home" and the kids go to a "School"- Life SUCKS in Cali - Texas is better
If you want a lifestyle that cannot be found in texas.... consider anywhere that can support that lifestyle...
If you have a career opportunity that exists ONLY in CA, then come here.....
A friend grew up in Cali and moved the Dallas...
His house cost what a down payment on a condo would be in my area
Gas is $1 per gallon cheaper
Milk is $1 per gallon cheaper
If you want to come to cali and live
In San Francisco
In Hollywood
At the beach
Then come....
Zillow will show you what places cost.... and the rating of Schools.....
If you want to keep working in the oil industry, avoid CA... Bakersfield is booming... but you should be able to make a lot more in the Dakotas....

If you're extremely wealthy, California can be paradise. (Think Newport Beach/ harbor). If you're middle-class and work for a living, not nearly as much.
I would leave if I didn't have family obligations keeping me here, despite being born and raised in SoCal.
IMO, there are many beautiful and nice places to live, but they are slowly being ruined by the unchecked illegal immigration of perhaps the worst cultures to ever immigrate into this country, and the unchecked liberalist FASCISM that has taken hold.
Frankly, if you're from Texas, it all depends where you go in California. There are many rural locales which are great places with people who don't have their head in the clouds, but unfortunately I see those places also being ruined by foreign invaders and fascist "progressive" policies.
(I think being from Texas you may also be familiar with the "foreign invaders," unfortunately).

Much, much better weather. Possibly better fishing, but hunting sucks. MUCH better state and national parks. Closer to Alaska, British Columbia.
Road and mountain biking much better, hiking is much better. Real estate is expensive, but is appreciating. One advantage is that RE is not reassessed.
But people can be sue happy, and there are plenty of phony liberals. Most AR's will need a bullet button, and high cap mags...you are screwed unless you had them in the state at least once before 1-1-2014. If so, you can bring them in disassembled. If you had them before 9-1994, they are probably pre-ban mags, which if you had them in Cali before that date, you can bring them back in.

In order to live within the confines of the state of California, and subject to their law, they would have to pay me enough to fly back to a free state on weekends where I would retain my residency.
Depends on where in CA you want to move to, there are some really nice places in CA but there's a price to be had with them. Higher taxes, more govt. restrictions, higher cost of living, and a state that is sinking financially like the Titanic make it an unattractive place to move unless you're living somewhere nice and making a minimum of 150k+
There are better options for places to relocate to, unfortunately the liberals have really turned CA for the worse which is unfortunately as geographically it's a very nice state.

Just think of all the money you would save on nice guns and suppressors since you can't have them there.
Well...get you one of these and keep it 'loaded' and afix it so it won't turn over and with the shaking and rolling that goes on....you won't even have to work to churn your butter! Course if I was you I wouldn't get located right atop a major fault line....back up about 200 yards!

Looks like you may not have to wait ten days any longer in CA when you want to buy a gun.

You will gain being in a state that has not only the best weather in the entire country, but also the most diverse group of the US population you'll ever find. Also, if you're a hunter, you'll really enjoy the black bears we have here. If you're a fisherman, you will LOVE the San Joaquin River. One of the best fisheries in the country.
I lived in NorCal for three years. The State of Jefferson. I was an amazing place. If it broke away from the rest of California I would move back tomorrow. But......as it stands now I will never go back. Most of my guns can't be brought into the state. The taxes are oppressive. The politics are absolutely ridiculous. Beautiful country but just not worth it.
Perhaps a more enlightening question would be what would you lose? A short list off the top of my head:
Your self-respect
Your guns
Your financial security
Your pride
Your balls
Your sense of being a free human being
Your man-card
The ability to decide anything for yourself
Having to trade in anything pointed for the round-nosed scissors they issue five year olds
Any car that isn't a Prius
I guess you could say that you could gain the ability to live under some of the most crushing oppression a thinking free man could find in this country while justifying it to yourself by continuously whispering "But the weather is soooooo great."

Less humidity...lots of pretty things to look at...um...
Not to mention some of the most polluted beaches in the US-from raw sewage to medical waste. Don't take my word for it, just google, America's most polluted beaches, most of the sources are from CA!!! The photos say it all.....
I posted this to prove a point. There is no way in HELL I leaving Texas for CA. But my point was proven right. Even people in CA. think it suxs to live is CA.
Well that's a dick move...we don't need to be reminded by you.
You could have a close, personal relationship with Maser.
You could be right I heard he had boobs implanted on his back. There are few on here that say he has no gag reflex.
This made me laugh. But then I thought your right. CA is the land of Guys that like DICKS up the ass
So what I get from this is if you want a dick up your ass or to pay high taxes CA. is the place. The gun laws are well known. Anything else Ca. Has to offer
Look at it as a PSA for all that live in CA.
Stand up or get out
Ok I get a dick up my ass in good weather. I don't see that as good
So let me get this right CA. you can get a dick up your ass in good weather. Taxes suck. Gun laws suck. Best of all Maser does not gag. Has boobs on his back. What a wonderful land you have
I am born and raised in SoCal, but I am looking to get out of this state in a few years. That being said what I do like about CA and some of this stuff might not appeal or surprise any of you but I will name what I like not all the obvious dislikes.
1. The weather is nice all year round. I have been living at the beach for about 7 years now and besides living in the eastern Sierras there isnt really a place I would rather live in CA than the beach. It can get a little warm sometimes during the summer like in the 90s but that doesnt happen often. When it cools down its in the 60s and no need for a jacket/hoody really. So the weather cant be beat!
2. I just received my CCW and am happy as a pig in shit for that
We just struck down the law that you have to wait 10 days to take home a firearm, should be active in Feb 2015.
3. The women are pretty hot where I am at but then again they are pretty fake so take the bad with the good. Welp not much else that I can think of at the moment. Best bet is to stay out of Ca lol.

If you have the money and all your firearms are bolt action why not? It's a cool state. The issue I have is that people lived very well for decades with no economic policies to support the high level of living. So all that infrastructure that was built in the 60s-90s is now being paid through tax dollars and with no new money coming in the roads, bridges, retirements, needs money to maintain and so taxes go up... I'm not personally going to move there and pay for all those golden years that are now over with.
I'll deal with the Tornadoes to stay living as a Free Man....
California is a FREE state. There is very little that the state will not let you do without a little time and effort on your part. If you need a suppressed .50 BMG to shoot exploding targets in your backyard then I guess you can't do that. You can own a .510 DTC and get your CCW with some money and paperwork. Considering the tight congested population of people I am happy that these laws are in place otherwise we would have a huge amount of firearms related accidents. The laws are here for a reason and with a little logic you might appreciate them. Stop the blind hate. Or continue it, just stay out of CA.
You get higher income taxes and higher sales taxes. Everything costs more too. You get to sit in traffic for hours. You get to turn your black rifles and big magazines in. On top of it, you get to work in shit Bakersfield. You'd be better off in fucking El Paso.
probably gain a taste for cock, bout it
What you gain, nothing. What you lose Damn near everything.
Listen to this guy. Are you out of your fucking mind? You live in one of the most gun-friendly state in the nation and you want to move to Kalifornistan (the worst of the worst)? Take advice from a Californian. Get as far away from the Libtards in this state as possible. They are mind-numbing stupid.
