Do you think I would be allowed to wear a cowboy hat and walk around
with a gun in Wyoming? That would be a strong incentive!

yes. You don't even need a permit. I'm not sure about green card
holders.

Duke is in Durham, NC, possibly too warm for your wife. And it has lots
of sidewalks to attract liberals, though as I found in an October walk,
ankle-destroying breaks in the sidewalk can be obscured by colourful

(The local university once install a road bump that injured five
people, one of whom died. The fifth, who didn't die, won a $16M

with something less dangerous. Never underestimate the power of a
lawsuit payout to change minds.)
