David,
Very sorry to hear the tail of woe you must endure in your state. The bureaucratic nightmare that is NY is crushing to the soul. It is plainly a violation of the 2nd Amendment. Here in Idaho, stores are considered essential and are open with social distancing practiced. We are on a 30 day self quarantine that should be lifted on the 15th. Part of my reason in moving here from Oregon was due to the onerous laws that will beset my former state. Guns are very protected here under the Idaho Constitution. Gun shows are prevalent and FTF sales do not require government intervention. The state does not charge for background checks. Since being here I've found a dealer that charges $25 for transfers. There is a 6% sales tax but my property tax went from $5600 to about 3K. We jokingly said we were downsizing but ended up with a house of 3000 sqft. I live next to a lake and in the evenings we hear the ducks and geese. Coyotes howl along with the hoot of owls. We love it here. Building is booming and several new communities are forming around us. Each has walkways, parks, playgrounds and some community pools. Should you consider a relocation it's worth the visit to Idaho.
