They sure can. I work in the timber industry; we own mining claims that we work; we raise purebred dogs and we hunt. These are all things that the majority of legislators in the state of California would just as soon regulate out of existence. It’s ironic that California is “The Golden State” because it’s nearly impossible to Mine gold here anymore.
Our freedoms here are being eroded away and voters here can’t give them away quickly enough. On top of that they tax us obscenely. This is why California is having a mass exodus of businesses and retirees. They use our precious resources to build a bullet train that only serves South California while our water infrastructure is crumbling away.
The frustration with the state government is quite high in the North. Their regulations are turning Northern California into Appalachia. This state is controlled by LA and SF. We are culturally very different and that is harming rural California. Enough of my rant. I could go on, but I think I’ve gone on enough.
I sure understand where you are coming from. I don’t live in California but I am not a fan of the legislators there. I can see what they are doing to ya’ll. Very sad indeed!
It’s about 70 miles away. Mt Shasta is a 14.180 ft or 4322 m stratovolcano. The last time it was estimated to have erupted was just over 200 years ago. It’s a pretty quiet volcanco. Hoping it stays that way.

There is nothing in our lives from work, hobbies or life style that this state doesn’t approve of and would like to regulate out of existence.
