So happy living in Idaho!

When I retired in Washington state I moved to Idaho within two weeks.
I moved here primarily because it is one of the most gun-friendly states in the country.
We have the stand your ground law.
We have the castle doctrine law covering both your home and your vehicle.
Open carry is legal for anyone over 18.
Concealed carry is legal for anyone over 18 without a concealed carry permit.
Concealed carry permits are easily obtainable for reciprocity in neighboring states and most states in the country ... even extremely liberal states (with restrictions). They are issued on a shall-issue basis, not a may-issue basis. They are good for 5 years.
Background checks are done within minutes at gun shops while you wait.
There is no waiting period to buy a gun.
If you have a state-issued CCW permit there is no background check to buy a gun because one was done when they issued you your permit.
It is a deeply red state so those laws are not likely to change any time soon.

I LOVE IDAHO!

Oh, you poor guy. Wish there was something I could do for you. Oregon is nearly as bad and Washington state is a close 3rd.

I never thought I'd ever say this - but- Ohio has done an about-face in the last 20 years & is a really decently gun-friendly place to live.

A background check is a Federal requirement, every state has to comply. The hold up is usually the FBI due, recently at least, to insufficient manpower.

My state is similar. With a permit, no NICS check is done. Though I don't know for sure, I assume the valid permit is sufficient because a federal check is done at the time of issuance.

Kentucky also has DRY Counties. Bourbon isn't any good if you can't have it.

Sadly, TX is more restrictive. No CC or open carry (handguns) without permit, and because of the influx of leftist non-Texans due to our booming economy (well at least it had been booming before the Wuhan) we're becoming bluer every day.

But - the ATF will accept a state carry licence as an alternative in some states.

Yup. As far as I know, if you're in the CCDW permit pool here, Kentucky State Police are running your background check every 30 days, so the permit holds some weight regarding background check at purchase time. If your permit is revoked for obvious reasons, and you don't surrender it, they'll come find it. KRS 237.110(13)(c) So the odds of that permit being in hand unlawfully is slim.

Just to confirm your knowledge, I was just told the same by an instructor last night.

Incorrect. If a law enforcement agency issues the CCW permit the state can request a wavier from the ATF regarding the background checks.

The waiver does not remove the federal requirement that a background check be performed. It simply allows the state to conduct the background check in lieu of the FFL having to call NICS. One way or another, a background check must be performed.

My wife wants to head to Idaho when we retire, I want to head back to my home state of Missouri or back to Indiana maybe Tennessee where I spent a good portion of my life.
I am worried that Idaho will fall like Colorado did within the next decade. It was only 20 years ago that Colorado was a wonderful, blood red state and has since turned into excrement.

I've had some wonderful visits to Idaho.
We visited a friend of my former spouse in Salmon...suddenly she was on the phone talking to an old friend of hers...and within an hour I was drinking coffee at Elmer Kieth's place. He was a gracious host,

There is an amazing western saloon in Smelterville I discovered while riding the old Triumph in th rain...

Mary's Steakhouse in Darby...Motorcycling,or paddling,the river canyons.

From entering the Targee Natinal Forest out of Jackson,Wyo,to being out in a small aluminum rental boat on Priest Lake,to the beautiful pastoral land around Pocatello,

Yeah,Idaho.

And,I've lived in Colorado since 1966. It has gone to doo-doo.

Find some recent vid to see what the State Capitol has become,under our Governor Polis.

I don't mean to make yo sad,enjoy all you can,while you can.

Word is,there is going to be an exodus from Oregon and Washington to Idaho.

I live in the Panhandle, and that's been happening for years now. But we've been getting more Californians for the last 20 years or so, and I don't expect that to stop either.

Southern Idaho is more in tune with Utah and they have a conservative tilt just because of that, up here we're considered the rednecks of the state. I'm sure many here at TFL saw the media photos of the recent "protests" in Coeur D'Alene back in June, where there were more gun toting counter protesters than those protesting. It's a unique place. Open carry is very popular here.

NV used to be better, but the Democrats have taken over. Just a matter of time. . .

Before this goes too far, I would like to suggest reviewing forum rules #1 and #5 before posting.

I did see that and I was extremely proud of those people. Now if more would follow suit the dregs of society might try to contain their evil a bit.
