@@victorramosjr2239 Idaho does not tax Social Security Benefits. However, Idaho and most other states do tax employee retirement account distributions either before (early distributions) or after (normal distributions) you retire.
The biggest problem with North Idaho, is the volume of new Californian residents bring their ideology. Plus, the crime that overflows from Spokane. Also, the high volume of Native Crips! But north Idaho is a nice area to visit.
I'm a service connected disabled vet, that was both a 95B most and in civilian LE for a few years, before chemical exposure complications resurfaced. Under those conditions would LEO'S ply to me?
The gun shop/range (Guns N Gear) down here in Idaho Falls has what they call the "conjugal visit" locker. They will store your silencer for you during the waiting period, but let you come check it out and use it on their range when ever you want, until the waiting period is over.
In north Idaho there's two spots that I know of which also do that. There's center target sports in post falls, and for the really northern brethren or those who don't mind driving to a less strict indoor range (no ROF limits) then Wrenco Arms in Sandpoint also has ya covered.
Why is it, or better yet, HOW is it that Chinese Nationals are using your ranges for target practice? How's this happening? I see something WRONG with all this. They should NOT be allowed to even hold a fitearm!!!!
S.E. Texan here. I've driven from Spokane through Sandpoint to and from Noxon, Montana to see family. I wish I could afford to live there, housing is stupid expensive. The wife has family in eastern Wa. Too bad Seattle ruins it for the rest of the state.
Yeah, it's a helluva place. There are some reasonable options to be found and property taxes are way cheaper than TX. It's a bummer Seattle has gone so far downhill.
@@northidahoexperience Lived for a number of years in the Kellogg area. The wife and I wanted to retire to somewhere around Saint Mary's but the price of houses and land is through the roof thanks to all the refugees. I'm hoping for 3 winters of subzero weather up there, that will lower the real estate prices.
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 Oh, I'm very sure Ferguson will be the next "dick in charge" for WA. State. Nothing is changing in socialist/liberal Gavin Newsom loving Washington State. Have you noticed that WA. State follows California on rules/ laws and injustices to its citizens. Both have very corrupt state governments. God Bless Idaho for still being free! Well, mostly free!.
When I have to explain gun laws in Idaho to anyone else and they get upset at how "lax" they are I always tell people, "Idaho cares about actions, not possessions. Anything can be a weapon, so it's easier to go after the action, and fairer to the citizens to not punish them because of arbitrary classifications."
People are so focused on trying to prevent crime that they lose sight of how it teeters on unconstitutional. In a nation founded on liberty, you don't "prevent" crime, you punish crime. You can't have liberty if you operate on the basis "you may do something illegal, so you aren't allowed to..." You don't punish people because they MAY do something. You punish them because they HAVE DONE something. But alot of modern day people liked to be corralled by their govt. "Govern me harder daddy"
@@Hamrik_Oswald teeters on unconstitutional? "Shall Not Infringe" doesn't leave a lot of room for being misunderstood yet there it is. Most folks don't study history let alone do true research on the actual document's from the start of this nation and before. They choose to let other's fill their minds with altered facts and false truths.
@@Hamrik_Oswaldgun control is already beyond unconstitutional. The thing about the Wild West was bad people died because good people with guns either shot them or hung them. Then the laws began and we’ve been going downhill ever since
I moved to Idaho from Oregon and being able to concealed with no permit is great. We don’t have mass shootings because everyone is probably carrying. I carry every day.
Great content, Brother. I too am a refugee cop from the People’s Republic of (Southern) California. FYI, we do HR218 qualifications every other Friday at Center Target Sports in Post Falls. We also have a Class 3 kiosk via Silencer Shop in our store, although we don’t have much of a suppressor inventory. We can do an ATF form 4 transfer for you from a distributor of your choice and hold it pending ATF approval. We teach a myriad of firearms classes from new beginner to advanced as well as Idaho Enhanced Concealed Weapon License classes.
Good to know! I recently retired (SCPD Long Island) and will be heading out there as soon as I get the last one off to college; can't wait! (and don't worry: I'm escaping NY, not bringing it with me 😜)
@@PEZ4949 I just helped with the HR218 qual of a retired New Jersey FBI agent yesterday. There are some great folks from your neck of the woods. Come enjoy free America.
One very important Idaho gun law everyone seems to miss is ID 18-310 section 2 where it states Idaho felons automatically have their firearm rights restored upon successful completion of their sentence/probation, aside from a few very specific violent crimes that are listed below.
This is HUGE. I have never understood that when someone does their time….why do they lose God given rights for past mistakes they have paid their time for?…
Because most people never committed the crimes they where arrested for in the first place. I've been charged with murder 6 times and never once been found guilty. It still messes up my record and I can't do anything because of it. Worst thing is one of the people I was charged with murder for killing is still living.
Remember, you're a refugee not a missionary! 1. Slow the heck down on the highways. 2. Left lane is not the fast lane, it's for passing. 3. Follow at least 2 seconds behind someone! 4. 4wd doesn't mean you can do 70 on sick roads. 45 tops. 5. Red means stop at traffic lights.. All the imports have made it almost impossible to buy reasonable priced housing. I'm 5th Gen local and lucky to have property.. -Sandpoint ID
I appreciate your channel and what you have to say about my beautiful state of Idaho. But when people from Comifornia, they think they are conservative (in the Comifornia sense) but aren't necessarily red state conservative. Unfortunately, as Comifornians move to other red states, they tend to bring their Comifornia voting habits, turning red states purple then blue. Case in point, thinking that decriminalization of drugs including Marijuana is a good thing. NOPE! Just look at what that did for most of Comifornia, Portland Oregon, Seattle Washington and Denver Colorado. Those major cities are now Hell holes. Please help keep Idaho, Idaho, and just like hiking in the back country," leave it as you found it."
That's not entirely true. 75% of the CA people moving here are Republican. That is a greater number than Idaho traditionally votes (58%). Plus, those people understand the importance of voting because they watched their states deteriorate because of politics. You can't lump all people from one state into the same category.
@@northidahoexperience Sorry, I wasn't trying to paint ALL of California's with the same brush, but there are conservative Republicans, then there are RINO voters. I just don't want to see our state go the way of Arizona, New Mexico and now Texas (Houston, Austin and other major cities) moving from conservative to liberal state.
@@northidahoexperience Your 58% traditional Idaho vote is the current status in Idaho from having all of the Californians and other blue staters mixed in. Idaho used to be almost 90% red. Plus your red Californians that sell their multi million dollar homes move into Idaho and build multi-million dollar homes raising the tax base which has caused many idahoans to lose their homes over time to high property taxes. McCall Idaho is my example of that. There are many problems with Californians moving into Idaho whether they're red or not. You don't see it because you're still new to Idaho. I remember Idaho with under 700k people in the entire state. Very few Californians and Idaho was pristine. So I'll agree not all Californians are causing Idaho problems, but most of them do in my opinion. 39 year LEO still on the job a bit longer having seen Idaho change a lot.
California Republicans are NOT Idaho Republicans. It's totally different. Most Cali repubs seem maybe, barely right of center, and would probably end up voting Democrat in Idaho. They still bring some social voting BS, ok with higher taxes for this and that. Most of them almost have this sense of entitlement thing going, rather than easy going and showing some humility. Just bcuz you like guns, doesn't make you Repub in Idaho. My dad voted for Hillary🤦♂️, and he carries and goes to the range. If you move to Idaho, and North Idaho, McCall, and Boise make you like Idaho - you're still Californian and will never be an Idahoan. Those Democrat, blue strongholds in Idaho SHOULDNT appeal to a republican IMO. The cops are corrupt, City councils are corrupt...
Actually I think there is a direct correlation that the more legal gun owners there are the lower the gun involved crime rate and crime rate in general
I always required someone to give me a bill of sale just so they don't report it stolen and then I get in trouble and the gun taken away or something so I always made sure I did a bill of sale.
10:04 the enhanced CCW in idaho covers more than 30 states. Idaho's enhanced ccw is recognized by 38 states. As an idaho resident, you can go to Oregon with your enhanced ccw and get an oregon license as well. Otherwise Oregon doesn't recognize any other ccw or issue non-resident ccws
I don’t think that’s true. Oregon doesn’t have reciprocity with any state. Some conservative counties might issue a permit, but they have no obligation to do so.
I'm not trying to bring more people here, they are coming anyway. They find our channel by SEARCHING for this area. We are only providing accurate information so the RIGHT people come here. I am very much committed to keeping N Idaho awesome.
@@michaelslagle599 A Californian republican isn’t conservative……. This state has sent to sh!t with the invasion from the state they fled instead of taking back.
@@michaelslagle599I think you all freak out too much about people moving from OR, WA and Cali. Polls show that the people moving to Idaho are more likely to vote red than the population already in Idaho. If anything they are making Idaho redder.
Born and raised in CDA, overseas for some time and back to CDA, it's home. I carry as well, not open, but not concerned about open carry either. It's great to find others that are into the Idaho freedoms. I will be watching.
For those wanting to know, Weaponsmart in Lewiston Idaho also has the kiosk for applying for the tax stamp. I believe it’s the only kiosk in Lewiston, simply because I have not seen any kiosks at other FFL locations in town.
Where is that because I go to Winco every few months? I've been going there for 30 years and never saw a kiosk. I live in the only county with a tactical firearms center and south of Riggins is a long range nighttime and daytime sniper training center.
@@PatrickThreewit 1343 G St. Lewiston Idaho. From Winco, go downhill on 17th st to G st. (5 lights) turn left (West) on G st, go 5 blocks and it’s on the right at the corner of G st & Lincoln St. it’s a small building. If you run into to the fire station you went 1 block too far.
@@PatrickThreewit pretty cool shop, knowledgeable people. The owner can seem a bit over the top at times. It’s in a bad location for me though, it’s only a block from my house, which makes it way too easily accessible for me.
@@NI09FXCWC I called around Lewiston yesterday and no way can I find HSM 41 magnum. I have to order that from Midwayusa and I did. And my county borders Ravalli County in Montana where they are produced. I don't like full loads. Too hard on an old man's hands. Before Covid I could buy them in Clarkston at a hardware store for less than $25 a box of 50 but now they are $50 a box of 50 online. If we ever have a civil war in this country, I don't see who people would be fighting. Militias? Even though north Idaho has militias, as of today, unorganized militias (non-state controlled) are illegal in Idaho according to Idaho state law. Legal in Washington state. Odd.
I'm from North Idaho and I love the American gun culture its different then other gun cultures because it actually a part of our history, strength and what set us apart from any other country in history they are part of and protected by our religion and constitution it a beautiful thing. Cant wait to be back.
North Idaho is too much into Christian nationalism for me, because I am not a Christian and in my county 24% of the population is unaffiliated when it comes to religion.
Idaho also has laws that protect children under 18 if they use a firearm in defense of themselves or others. Even if they're in a familiar persons house they've been invited into before, and even with never been given any previous permission or access to the weapon. They may also be protected from any civil suit from the homeowner or attacker or any person suing on behalf of either party. Potato guns are legal as long as they use a liquid propellant, you're not damaging property, & you don't leave a pile of garbage. Pumpkin cannons too! There's also a very important unwritten rule that goes: Leave it better than you found it. Don't leave garbage! I know Idaho's public lands are an awesome playground. But please remember that to some of us it's the backyard we grew up in. We're aware of how special it is and we take pride in the fact that we've never taken that for granted. If you can feel the same, be respectful, courteous... and wave, then I consider that person a true Idahoan no matter where you were born.
Canadian here, just found your channel with this video. I'm actually curious about people like myself and the process for us to get a CCW as a consistent visitor, I know it can be done but nobody has told me of the process. That said I am currently debating the big move south, especially with the way the current political system is going here in the great white north.
Come on down! I am not sure of the process in your case. I would call the local Sheriff's Department and ask them. They issue the CCWs and should be able to answer that.
In the southern Idaho region there is a small locally owned gun shop called The Rustic Rifle that has an open electronic silencer shop kiosk. My wait time was 7.5 months.
The prices of homes/land in North Idaho has gone up 600% since I wanted to move there. It’s not more expensive than where I currently live, but I can only make about 30% of what I make here, in Idaho. Sad really, because Idaho is such a beautiful place, except for Boise.
Since the middle of covid.. Idaho, Montana, the northern lands of Washington have skyrocketed. You can blame social media for telling city slickers to move the woods. In northeast Washington, you could pick up 50 acres for not much over 125k. Now 5 acres cost you 230k.
Some friends of ours have 20 acres for sale in the Harrison area. They have a view of lake CDA but no direct access from the property. It truly is a beautiful piece of land but when their realtor said they should list it for $2.8 MILLION I damn near shit myself. The average person can't afford to buy real estate in north Idaho any more.
You should mention that under LEOSA you have to shoot annually your states required retired LEO qualification course. There are other requirements to meet the annual weapons LEOSA qualification if your state doesn't have a required course of fire. Check where you reside.
You have to qualify annually but my understanding is that you can use whatever cert course is used where you do the qualification. At least that's how mine was this year.
@@northidahoexperience The person who qualifies the LEOSA shooter must have the state certification to qualify LEOs (active or retired). It does depend on what your state requires.
Here in AZ the regular POST Course of Fire is used. Either travel to prior state, or do so by mail. HR is used to seeing all sorts of Certifications. Not sure about our County Sheriff process here.
@@northidahoexperiencepretty sure he was talking about 1st amendment and 4th amendment and basically making the point that gun owners/pro 2A Americans are cvcks/uncletoms for tolerating/rationalizing fed overreach with the 2nd amendment.
Hi Seth, I'm a REALTOR in California with family in the Coeur d'Alene-Rathdrum area. I had an Idaho nonresident CCW that expired. Last May I traveled to Idaho on business and reapplied. I was approved once again and need to return by July to sit for photo for reissuance. In the meantime, I recently received my CCW here in California. Being that I've already paid for the Idaho CCW I will be following through with the process. My question is whether the no wait period applies if I were to purchase a gun using my California CCW while in Idaho? I enjoyed your video content and have subscribed to hear more of what you have to say. Stay safe out there.
@@northidahoexperience Thank you for your response to my question. I'm sorry, but I will have to unsubscribe from your channel. I signed up to receive info on gun laws in Idaho, not to get bombarded with Real Estate ads from you. As a 20 year REALTOR here in California I understand the marketing part of the business but do not appreciate the Real Estate spam. May I suggest that you separate the two subjects, providing a channel for each one. I will look in on you now and again as needed, but I can no longer be a subscriber. Good luck to you.

Visit southern Idaho. Hot springs, River tubing, beginner to advance kayaking, and short drive to Salt Lake so you can still enjoy city life but then leave.
I lived for 2 years once in Southeast Idaho but -40 and snow on the ground for 9 months was too much for me. Once in July my Ford Bronco had 2 inches of snow on it.
We've got a silencer shop kiosk in meridian at hawktech. Didn't know the thing about home made silencers. Still seems sketchy. Even if idaho defends your right, your dog will still undoubtedly get shot
As updated July 1, 2020. Constitutional carry (permitless concealed carry) is extended to any US citizen, and not restricted to just Idaho residents. (not legal advice) but go check it out.
I prefer open carry to conceal carry myself, but I am a "bigger picture" sort of person myself. I personally feel conceal carry has done more harm than good to gun RIGHTS. Because now it's thought of as unusual or dangerous when a gun is out in the open. It spooks the cattle(normies) Alot of gun owners don't think that way. Hyperfocused on the immediate tactical advantage of not being targeted for having a gun. These days gun owners are treated as anomalies and pariahs because guns have so much stigma, shame, fear, danger etc. associated with them and when gun owners conceal their firearms from public view it inadvertently reinforces those things because it places the concept on having a gun out in the open more and more into obscurity. An armed citizenry used to be the norm and unarmed the anomaly, but now everything is topsy-turvy
In Arizona, a non-prohibited person over the age of 21 may conceal carry legally wothout a CCW. ATF has expedited suppressor process through eForms which takes about 10 days to be granted the tax stamp Form 4.
FYI, RLEOs can also go to the local Sheriff's Office for their annual HR 218 renewal. Ada County does this every year and issues a HR218 card with your photo and info.
Otherwise Good info on Idaho, learned some cool things. visited last March. Beautiful, friendly state. Unfortunately prices too high. Stuck in CA. Will have to wait for things to settle and see how it goes. Friend moved in 2017, that was good time to move.
@@markjordan2382 Read the entire 2nd amendment. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. We have a natural right to bear arms, guns. Therefore the right shall NOT be infringed. So it is a restriction to the GOVT from infringing upon us gun owners.
Something has GOT to happen. It's insane to allow the culture of extreme degeneracy and hyper-dysfunction in Portland to rule the entire state, which it is doing. Greater Idaho AND State of Jefferson. If both of those could happen, it would leave only the NW quadrant of Oregon to rule-by-Portland.
I have been open carrying daily since 1996 without issue from Seattle to Boise to Vegas to Phoenix with no problems ever. Open carry is a visual deterrent, whereas concealed carry gives the appearance of being a personal gun free zone.
@@TheSpiritualGangstuh Tens of thousands of Americans Open Carry daily across the US without any problems. When you research open carriers being targeted, it's almost non-existent. You will find many instances with police losing their firearms in physical conflict with suspects that have been detained/arrested, but not when it comes to citizens. Criminal thugs are not worried about being arrested by civilians, so it's a non issue for open carriers. You also need to understand that thugs have the same self-preservation instinct as you and I do, so when the are looking for victims, they are looking for the safest opportunity available. Why pick an armed target that presents risk over an unarmed target offering little resistance, the choice is obvious.
@@opencarry3860 Hopefully you use a very good level 3 retention holster. There is only one brand I know of that will keep someone from coming up behind you a taking your gun. You have some interesting ideas on open carry...
@@PatrickThreewit Friends and family throughout the western states and family in the Midwest, that’s why I got the enhanced ID. Also have an OR license as they don’t honor anyone else’s.
@@DavidWilson-eu1mv As an old man, now, I only travel to Washington, Oregon, and Montana. And Oregon only accepts in-state residents. Last time I went to Oregon, I was not without a firearm. I sure wish people would slow down on this fear of taking guns crap and saying the dems want a shooting war. Before the pandemic I could buy cowboy action loads for my SA pistol at $20 a box. Now a cartridge is $1. And a full load almost knocks me over to shoot. North Idaho must be way different from my county. I've only seen one person open carrying in 31 years here and this was a Vietnam vet with a .45 on his left hip. I never conceal carry in my county. I keep a pocket pistol, under my car seat in case I break down at night, but I only open carry if I walk in the woods around my home. We don't have grizzlies here according to F&G. Might find one in the high Bitterroots but I don't hike up there anymore.
@@PatrickThreewit OR will issue a non resident permit to those who live in a bordering state who have received proper training according to their standards but they do not recognize my Idaho CCW. I am an ID resident and the mandatory training for the Enhanced CCW in ID also qualified me for the OR license. I’m closer to 80 than I am to 70 and have family in WA, OR, CA, AZ, WI, MN, and a few other states. I still visit those relatives when possible and prefer to be legally armed wherever possible rather than risk an arrest. I don’t buy all the hype over gun rights or idiots, a.k.a. Dems, wanting to take them away. As for ammo costs, I agree, the cost has gotten out of hand. That’s why I do reloading as it’s cheaper than buying new all the time. I can also load to my own preferences. Do like the cowboy action loads in my revolvers, some SA and some DA. Don’t usually see anyone open carry around here either. I’m in SW Idaho, 30 miles out of OR.
One thing that wasnt mentioned is idaho does not require you to have a ccw in order to do so as long as you are 18 or older and you are a local idahoan. You can now legally conceal carry in public without a ccw. I only purchased my ccw so i didn't have to wait for the background check. Makes my purchase exchange MUCH quicker.
Retired LEO after 41 years. Just for info regarding HR 218(Instructor), the 218 card is valid for only for one year unfortunately. Must be renewed yearly.
You dont need a concealed carry permit to conceal carry in idaho if your over 18 and not a felon or otherwise prohibited from obtaining a concealed carry permit
Question, I am currently a HR-218 permit holder in the state of Idaho. Was advised by North 40, that they “would not” honor my HR-218 card when purchasing a firearm and would require a complete background check?? Are they right or wrong?? Which Idaho statute does this fall under, if you happen to know??
Good question! I personally wouldn't bother with the regular CCW, but the Enhanced CCW gives you reciprocity in over 30 other states and waives the background check when you purchase a gun here. That one is worth it.
@@northidahoexperience I'm still confused. Do you need the regular CCW to carry concealed in your vehicle? If not than yes the regular is kinda pointless.
The only time I open carry is when I am out in the woods, other than that it's nobodies business what I have........ I was not aware that with a CCW you don't have to get a background check. I bought a Glock 42 at the gun show in CDA last year and they did a background check so I wonder if they were not aware of it or if they were doing it as a CYA measure?
I have my enhanced CCW and when I went through the required class I believe they said 38/50 states reciprocate.. Washington is one and Oregon requires their own permit but if you get it at the same time as Idaho, they accept Idaho's class in lieu of theirs.
Please for the love of god stay in California. Idaho is a horrible place. Bad weather, bad roads the trees are too short air quality is poor there are no jobs here, speeding tickets are wicked expensive, people are mean and ugly. Just not a nice place. Stay where you are.
Thank you for this video, its one of the reason we moved here! Just got my enhanced CCW and because of your video with the current Sheriff letting me know about him I will be voting for him. Forwarded it to my friends and they also are voting for him.
I just recently found your channel - Thank you for all your content. Very Helpful. My question - If I have an Enhanced CCW from another state, will I need to complete the courses again in Idaho to get the Idaho Enhanced CCW or will I be able to just renew it there? -Any differences estrictions when I am living in Idaho with my out of state Enhanced CCW? -Thank You
I wouldn't think that Idaho would be the problem... California, that's another story. I suggest that your family member investigate whatever peculiar rule they have for buying from another family member. Just about when you think you've got the rules sorted out, they come up with a new one. California has become a very "special place!"
You said you went to the Sheriff's office to get your CCW for all 50 states as a retired LEO. I'm curious which department you worked for that working 14 years is considered full retirement. Or can you get the Leosa 50 state CCW for only working a few years in a law enforcement job. Thanks for the video.
@@jeffgarner3903it makes gun purchases easier and it shows your a conscientious trained CCW holder and if you cross into Washington it allows to legally conceal carry there and it 38 other states.
So a question in order to conceal carry in Idaho do need to get your Concealed weapons permit? I know you always hear that Idaho is constitutional carry but is that only for open carry? If so that to me would mean it not a constitutional carry state as you need permission/permit to conceal carry your firearm.
@@northidahoexperience there just seems to be different info I have been seeing even on sheriffs association website and the states website. I do remember there was some legislation passed that allowed Idaho residents to permit-less conceal carry within City limits then in 2020 they opened it up to all US citizens that are not disqualified from owning a firearm. Just having a hard time finding those bills.
Thanks for laying out these laws in Idaho, made me very interested in pursuing this state license. Coming from CT, we are surrounded by fanatics antiguns folks.
I left Idaho at age 18 to join the Marines because I wanted to see other places i spent 14 years trying to get home because I missed it so much. Many people from other states don't understand how non-restrictive gun laws make a place safer until it is explained to them. You can almost see that lightbulb go on when they finally understand.
It's nice having an Idaho enhanced CCW for crossing the border into Washington state, but all of my concealed pistols have "high capacity" magazines, which of course are currently banned in Washington. Would you recommend sourcing some neutered 10 round magazines for my firearms before crossing the border, "just in case", or am I being paranoid?
I'm in washington... If you had purchased your 10+ round capacity firearm before the law went into effect, you are grandfathered in to own, carry, and use. This was a concern of mine, then after listening to a gun rights lawyer (youtuber), and reading the layman's version, I knew I was ok.. as you are.
There's the law as written, & then there's the law as interpreted by the officer on scene. I would assume most good cops wouldn't be fishing just to bust me on that one issue, but the wrong cop, at the wrong time, will use any excuse they can. Most LEO's I know support law abiding armed citizens, but not all of them.
@@Eric-gi9kgI don't have receipts to prove date of purchase for most of my magazines. Do you? I'd rather avoid the situation all together, but how would you prove that to a cop with a chip on his shoulder, handcuffed on the side of the road, over a "high capacity" magazine. I don't like it, but statistics say you only need 3 rounds, so for now, I'll just comply & carry extra mags.
Here is one that that makes north Idaho great, the lack of people. Just something to keep in mind, I lived in CDA area late 80s - 90's (It's not remotely the same now) Now I rarely even go to visit, I don't want to deal with the traffic and I am only an hour away lol
I'd like to keep my kids and other kids extra safe while they play. My question is if I can conceal carry at a public park without a CCW or ECCW permit? I have never been in trouble with the law for anything. Although this weekend I take my ECCW class, so I'm excited for that. Also, when I apply for the ECCW permit for my county, does that take 6 months or is the background check kinda quick?
Is there a way to set up a gun trust (like in AZ) or something like that in Idaho so you just have to do a background check once for items such as suppressors?
On concealed carry in idaho. As of March 2020, permitless concealed carry is legal in Idaho for citizens over the age of 18. In the concealed carry part I didn’t hear.
Great video. I'm wondering if you know if military law enforcement qualifies under HR218. I'm a retired Air Force Security Police Supervisor (it's on my DD214). I've had an Idaho CCW in the past (as well as Virginia and Oklahoma).
Fellow military LEO here. It’s a Federally recognized system. So MIL-LEO’s qualify for it as well. I’d check to see if your time out of service might affect that though.
Great concise information. Nice delivery. I also found the Triple-B is also an excellent course of information in purchasing firearms. I too, an escapee from Washington State. Eastern Washington. Glad to be here (4 years) .. waited too long for sure. Thanks again. Good stuff.
Would you say it’s worth it as a retired LEO and have a HR218 (in my case, here in SW Idaho, we get qualified with a member of the S/O and get a printed out paper saying you qualified and are current in the HR218 - no “hard card” that I have seen or heard of?) is it a plus to have the enhanced CCW??
So when it comes to making a silencer saying made in idaho do I have to make it myself or can I pay a machine shop to make one for me? If that is a no do you know if I could have them make the pieces of one and if I assemble it would that be considered me making the suppressor
So I think the last part about built suppressors is a little off. If I remember correctly, the law states "All gun, AND gun accessories that are built in the state of Idaho, and stay in the state of Idaho are legal without federal regulation." I only saw the stamp requirement on Montana's similar law. And since it states "gun accessories", it covers a wider area than just suppressors.

Does Idaho tax your federal pension?
@@victorramosjr2239 Idaho does not tax Social Security Benefits. However, Idaho and most other states do tax employee retirement account distributions either before (early distributions) or after (normal distributions) you retire.
The biggest problem with North Idaho, is the volume of new Californian residents bring their ideology. Plus, the crime that overflows from Spokane. Also, the high volume of Native Crips!
But north Idaho is a nice area to visit.
HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD NEVER LIVE WHERE IT IS OK FOR ANYONE TO CARRY A GUN!!!!!!!!!! ONLY THIEVES AND MURDERERS CARRY GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!

The gun shop/range (Guns N Gear) down here in Idaho Falls has what they call the "conjugal visit" locker. They will store your silencer for you during the waiting period, but let you come check it out and use it on their range when ever you want, until the waiting period is over.
That is a fantastic idea! I love that
In north Idaho there's two spots that I know of which also do that. There's center target sports in post falls, and for the really northern brethren or those who don't mind driving to a less strict indoor range (no ROF limits) then Wrenco Arms in Sandpoint also has ya covered.
Why is it, or better yet, HOW is it that Chinese Nationals are using your ranges for target practice? How's this happening? I see something WRONG with all this. They should NOT be allowed to even hold a fitearm!!!!
Most places with a range will do that. All I have to do is go over to my friends house until my suppressor is out of jail 😉
The conjugal visit lol
S.E. Texan here. I've driven from Spokane through Sandpoint to and from Noxon, Montana to see family. I wish I could afford to live there, housing is stupid expensive. The wife has family in eastern Wa. Too bad Seattle ruins it for the rest of the state.
Yeah, it's a helluva place. There are some reasonable options to be found and property taxes are way cheaper than TX. It's a bummer Seattle has gone so far downhill.

When I have to explain gun laws in Idaho to anyone else and they get upset at how "lax" they are I always tell people, "Idaho cares about actions, not possessions. Anything can be a weapon, so it's easier to go after the action, and fairer to the citizens to not punish them because of arbitrary classifications."
Well said. I fully agree with that statement. Thank you
People are so focused on trying to prevent crime that they lose sight of how it teeters on unconstitutional.
In a nation founded on liberty, you don't "prevent" crime, you punish crime. You can't have liberty if you operate on the basis "you may do something illegal, so you aren't allowed to..."
You don't punish people because they MAY do something. You punish them because they HAVE DONE something. But alot of modern day people liked to be corralled by their govt.

Great content, Brother. I too am a refugee cop from the People’s Republic of (Southern) California. FYI, we do HR218 qualifications every other Friday at Center Target Sports in Post Falls. We also have a Class 3 kiosk via Silencer Shop in our store, although we don’t have much of a suppressor inventory. We can do an ATF form 4 transfer for you from a distributor of your choice and hold it pending ATF approval. We teach a myriad of firearms classes from new beginner to advanced as well as Idaho Enhanced Concealed Weapon License classes.

One very important Idaho gun law everyone seems to miss is ID 18-310 section 2 where it states Idaho felons automatically have their firearm rights restored upon successful completion of their sentence/probation, aside from a few very specific violent crimes that are listed below.
I did not know that
This is HUGE. I have never understood that when someone does their time….why do they lose God given rights for past mistakes they have paid their time for?…
Because most people never committed the crimes they where arrested for in the first place. I've been charged with murder 6 times and never once been found guilty. It still messes up my record and I can't do anything because of it. Worst thing is one of the people I was charged with murder for killing is still living.
Remember, you're a refugee not a missionary!

2. Left lane is not the fast lane, it's for passing.

Bro thank you seriously like why is no one else up in arms about this?
We have the same requirement for purchasing in Arkansas. If you have a CC permit, you do not need to wait for a NICS check when purchasing a firearm.
Pretty sweet deal, not that the check takes very long anyway, but still nice.
Some retailers still do the check. Most small shops don’t.
@@aguyinpostfalls I only buy from one gun shop, so I can't comment about others.
I appreciate your channel and what you have to say about my beautiful state of Idaho. But when people from Comifornia, they think they are conservative (in the Comifornia sense) but aren't necessarily red state conservative. Unfortunately, as Comifornians move to other red states, they tend to bring their Comifornia voting habits, turning red states purple then blue. Case in point, thinking that decriminalization of drugs including Marijuana is a good thing. NOPE! Just look at what that did for most of Comifornia, Portland Oregon, Seattle Washington and Denver Colorado. Those major cities are now Hell holes. Please help keep Idaho, Idaho, and just like hiking in the back country," leave it as you found it."
That's not entirely true. 75% of the CA people moving here are Republican. That is a greater number than Idaho traditionally votes (58%). Plus, those people understand the importance of voting because they watched their states deteriorate because of politics. You can't lump all people from one state into the same category.
@@northidahoexperience Sorry, I wasn't trying to paint ALL of California's with the same brush, but there are conservative Republicans, then there are RINO voters. I just don't want to see our state go the way of Arizona, New Mexico and now Texas (Houston, Austin and other major cities) moving from conservative to liberal state.
@@northidahoexperience Your 58% traditional Idaho vote is the current status in Idaho from having all of the Californians and other blue staters mixed in. Idaho used to be almost 90% red. Plus your red Californians that sell their multi million dollar homes move into Idaho and build multi-million dollar homes raising the tax base which has caused many idahoans to lose their homes over time to high property taxes. McCall Idaho is my example of that. There are many problems with Californians moving into Idaho whether they're red or not. You don't see it because you're still new to Idaho. I remember Idaho with under 700k people in the entire state. Very few Californians and Idaho was pristine. So I'll agree not all Californians are causing Idaho problems, but most of them do in my opinion. 39 year LEO still on the job a bit longer having seen Idaho change a lot.
California Republicans are NOT Idaho Republicans. It's totally different. Most Cali repubs seem maybe, barely right of center, and would probably end up voting Democrat in Idaho. They still bring some social voting BS, ok with higher taxes for this and that. Most of them almost have this sense of entitlement thing going, rather than easy going and showing some humility. Just bcuz you like guns, doesn't make you Repub in Idaho. My dad voted for Hillary🤦♂️, and he carries and goes to the range. If you move to Idaho, and North Idaho, McCall, and Boise make you like Idaho - you're still Californian and will never be an Idahoan. Those Democrat, blue strongholds in Idaho SHOULDNT appeal to a republican IMO. The cops are corrupt, City councils are corrupt...
@@TheSpiritualGangstuh Worse yet is Eagle, Meridian, and now Nampa and Caldwell are known as New SoCal.
Actually I think there is a direct correlation that the more legal gun owners there are the lower the gun involved crime rate and crime rate in general
I agree!
I literally just typed the same comment.
It's actually a fact . Worst, gun crime cities are Dumocrat run with the stricted gun laws .
I agree with your perspective.I don't do somethings just because I can, I prefer to do as circumstances are concidered appropriate.
Best way to live
I always required someone to give me a bill of sale just so they don't report it stolen and then I get in trouble and the gun taken away or something so I always made sure I did a bill of sale.
10:04 the enhanced CCW in idaho covers more than 30 states. Idaho's enhanced ccw is recognized by 38 states. As an idaho resident, you can go to Oregon with your enhanced ccw and get an oregon license as well. Otherwise Oregon doesn't recognize any other ccw or issue non-resident ccws
Great info, thanks
I don’t think that’s true. Oregon doesn’t have reciprocity with any state. Some conservative counties might issue a permit, but they have no obligation to do so.
Only reason people are " afraid " of a suppressor is the Hollywood movies.
exactly

For those wanting to know, Weaponsmart in Lewiston Idaho also has the kiosk for applying for the tax stamp. I believe it’s the only kiosk in Lewiston, simply because I have not seen any kiosks at other FFL locations in town.
Where is that because I go to Winco every few months? I've been going there for 30 years and never saw a kiosk. I live in the only county with a tactical firearms center and south of Riggins is a long range nighttime and daytime sniper training center.
@@PatrickThreewit 1343 G St. Lewiston Idaho. From Winco, go downhill on 17th st to G st. (5 lights) turn left (West) on G st, go 5 blocks and it’s on the right at the corner of G st & Lincoln St. it’s a small building. If you run into to the fire station you went 1 block too far.
@@NI09FXCWC Thanks. I'll go there the next time I'm in Lewiston. I usually go every 2 or 3 months.
@@PatrickThreewit pretty cool shop, knowledgeable people. The owner can seem a bit over the top at times. It’s in a bad location for me though, it’s only a block from my house, which makes it way too easily accessible for me.
@@NI09FXCWC I called around Lewiston yesterday and no way can I find HSM 41 magnum. I have to order that from Midwayusa and I did. And my county borders Ravalli County in Montana where they are produced. I don't like full loads. Too hard on an old man's hands. Before Covid I could buy them in Clarkston at a hardware store for less than $25 a box of 50 but now they are $50 a box of 50 online.
If we ever have a civil war in this country, I don't see who people would be fighting. Militias? Even though north Idaho has militias, as of today, unorganized militias (non-state controlled) are illegal in Idaho according to Idaho state law. Legal in Washington state. Odd.
Last several years of driving truck, I ONLY took runs where I was legal to carry in every state. Which included Idaho.
I'm from North Idaho and I love the American gun culture its different then other gun cultures because it actually a part of our history, strength and what set us apart from any other country in history they are part of and protected by our religion and constitution it a beautiful thing. Cant wait to be back.
North Idaho is too much into Christian nationalism for me, because I am not a Christian and in my county 24% of the population is unaffiliated when it comes to religion.
Idaho also has laws that protect children under 18 if they use a firearm in defense of themselves or others. Even if they're in a familiar persons house they've been invited into before, and even with never been given any previous permission or access to the weapon. They may also be protected from any civil suit from the homeowner or attacker or any person suing on behalf of either party. Potato guns are legal as long as they use a liquid propellant, you're not damaging property, & you don't leave a pile of garbage. Pumpkin cannons too! There's also a very important unwritten rule that goes: Leave it better than you found it. Don't leave garbage! I know Idaho's public lands are an awesome playground. But please remember that to some of us it's the backyard we grew up in. We're aware of how special it is and we take pride in the fact that we've never taken that for granted. If you can feel the same, be respectful, courteous... and wave, then I consider that person a true Idahoan no matter where you were born.
Canadian here, just found your channel with this video. I'm actually curious about people like myself and the process for us to get a CCW as a consistent visitor, I know it can be done but nobody has told me of the process.
That said I am currently debating the big move south, especially with the way the current political system is going here in the great white north.
Come on down! I am not sure of the process in your case. I would call the local Sheriff's Department and ask them. They issue the CCWs and should be able to answer that.
In the southern Idaho region there is a small locally owned gun shop called The Rustic Rifle that has an open electronic silencer shop kiosk. My wait time was 7.5 months.
Thanks for the info!
Sorry should have also included that shop is near Twin Falls.
The prices of homes/land in North Idaho has gone up 600% since I wanted to move there. It’s not more expensive than where I currently live, but I can only make about 30% of what I make here, in Idaho. Sad really, because Idaho is such a beautiful place, except for Boise.
I get it. That's a challenge for many people right now
Since the middle of covid.. Idaho, Montana, the northern lands of Washington have skyrocketed. You can blame social media for telling city slickers to move the woods.
In northeast Washington, you could pick up 50 acres for not much over 125k. Now 5 acres cost you 230k.
@@Eric-gi9kg We talking North like Whatcom Co., or North like Pend Oreille Co. ?
Some friends of ours have 20 acres for sale in the Harrison area. They have a view of lake CDA but no direct access from the property. It truly is a beautiful piece of land but when their realtor said they should list it for $2.8 MILLION I damn near shit myself. The average person can't afford to buy real estate in north Idaho any more.
Do you have to qualify annually for the HR218?
Yes, annually
You should mention that under LEOSA you have to shoot annually your states required retired LEO qualification course. There are other requirements to meet the annual weapons LEOSA qualification if your state doesn't have a required course of fire. Check where you reside.
You have to qualify annually but my understanding is that you can use whatever cert course is used where you do the qualification. At least that's how mine was this year.
@@northidahoexperience The person who qualifies the LEOSA shooter must have the state certification to qualify LEOs (active or retired). It does depend on what your state requires.
Here in AZ the regular POST Course of Fire is used. Either travel to prior state, or do so by mail. HR is used to seeing all sorts of Certifications. Not sure about our County Sheriff process here.

Hi Seth, I'm a REALTOR in California with family in the Coeur d'Alene-Rathdrum area. I had an Idaho nonresident CCW that expired. Last May I traveled to Idaho on business and reapplied. I was approved once again and need to return by July to sit for photo for reissuance. In the meantime, I recently received my CCW here in California. Being that I've already paid for the Idaho CCW I will be following through with the process. My question is whether the no wait period applies if I were to purchase a gun using my California CCW while in Idaho? I enjoyed your video content and have subscribed to hear more of what you have to say. Stay safe out there.

As updated July 1, 2020. Constitutional carry (permitless concealed carry) is extended to any US citizen, and not restricted to just Idaho residents. (not legal advice) but go check it out.
Thanks!
Open carry in Arizona, i actually am comfortable around people open carrying, they usually know how to handle them which makes us both safer
I don't mind it, I just choose not to myself.
I prefer open carry to conceal carry myself, but I am a "bigger picture" sort of person myself. I personally feel conceal carry has done more harm than good to gun RIGHTS. Because now it's thought of as unusual or dangerous when a gun is out in the open. It spooks the cattle(normies)
Alot of gun owners don't think that way. Hyperfocused on the immediate tactical advantage of not being targeted for having a gun.
These days gun owners are treated as anomalies and pariahs because guns have so much stigma, shame, fear, danger etc. associated with them and when gun owners conceal their firearms from public view it inadvertently reinforces those things because it places the concept on having a gun out in the open more and more into obscurity.
An armed citizenry used to be the norm and unarmed the anomaly, but now everything is topsy-turvy
@Hamrik_Oswald agreed, for the same reasons you mentioned, I see open carry but choose concealed as not to bring unwanted attention.
In Arizona, a non-prohibited person over the age of 21 may conceal carry legally wothout a CCW.
ATF has expedited suppressor process through eForms which takes about 10 days to be granted the tax stamp Form 4.
It's so fast right now
I grew up in post falls. Left in 2001 and have been trying to get back since.

Something has GOT to happen. It's insane to allow the culture of extreme degeneracy and hyper-dysfunction in Portland to rule the entire state, which it is doing. Greater Idaho AND State of Jefferson. If both of those could happen, it would leave only the NW quadrant of Oregon to rule-by-Portland.
I live in western WA. It's comforting to know that freedom and America are only a 5 hr drive away.
I have been open carrying daily since 1996 without issue from Seattle to Boise to Vegas to Phoenix with no problems ever. Open carry is a visual deterrent, whereas concealed carry gives the appearance of being a personal gun free zone.
That's great. Glad you can do that.
1911 in .45 ?
It may be a visual deterrent to some, but ro someone else, it can make you the 1st target🤷♂️
@@TheSpiritualGangstuh Tens of thousands of Americans Open Carry daily across the US without any problems. When you research open carriers being targeted, it's almost non-existent. You will find many instances with police losing their firearms in physical conflict with suspects that have been detained/arrested, but not when it comes to citizens. Criminal thugs are not worried about being arrested by civilians, so it's a non issue for open carriers. You also need to understand that thugs have the same self-preservation instinct as you and I do, so when the are looking for victims, they are looking for the safest opportunity available. Why pick an armed target that presents risk over an unarmed target offering little resistance, the choice is obvious.

Hopefully you use a very good level 3 retention holster. There is only one brand I know of that will keep someone from coming up behind you a taking your gun. You have some interesting ideas on open carry...

It is under a law (bill?) called HR218. Try googling that and see what comes up. Thanks
Agree 100%, concealed carry is the way to go. Did get the enhanced CCW due to the wide acceptance.
Yes, enhanced is the way to go due to reciprocity
I only go to a few states so I don't need a CCW in Idaho and one of the easiest states to get one is Washington.
@@PatrickThreewit Friends and family throughout the western states and family in the Midwest, that’s why I got the enhanced ID. Also have an OR license as they don’t honor anyone else’s.
@@DavidWilson-eu1mv As an old man, now, I only travel to Washington, Oregon, and Montana. And Oregon only accepts in-state residents. Last time I went to Oregon, I was not without a firearm. I sure wish people would slow down on this fear of taking guns crap and saying the dems want a shooting war. Before the pandemic I could buy cowboy action loads for my SA pistol at $20 a box. Now a cartridge is $1. And a full load almost knocks me over to shoot. North Idaho must be way different from my county. I've only seen one person open carrying in 31 years here and this was a Vietnam vet with a .45 on his left hip. I never conceal carry in my county. I keep a pocket pistol, under my car seat in case I break down at night, but I only open carry if I walk in the woods around my home. We don't have grizzlies here according to F&G. Might find one in the high Bitterroots but I don't hike up there anymore.
@@PatrickThreewit OR will issue a non resident permit to those who live in a bordering state who have received proper training according to their standards but they do not recognize my Idaho CCW. I am an ID resident and the mandatory training for the Enhanced CCW in ID also qualified me for the OR license. I’m closer to 80 than I am to 70 and have family in WA, OR, CA, AZ, WI, MN, and a few other states. I still visit those relatives when possible and prefer to be legally armed wherever possible rather than risk an arrest. I don’t buy all the hype over gun rights or idiots, a.k.a. Dems, wanting to take them away.
As for ammo costs, I agree, the cost has gotten out of hand. That’s why I do reloading as it’s cheaper than buying new all the time. I can also load to my own preferences. Do like the cowboy action loads in my revolvers, some SA and some DA.
Don’t usually see anyone open carry around here either. I’m in SW Idaho, 30 miles out of OR.
One thing that wasnt mentioned is idaho does not require you to have a ccw in order to do so as long as you are 18 or older and you are a local idahoan. You can now legally conceal carry in public without a ccw. I only purchased my ccw so i didn't have to wait for the background check. Makes my purchase exchange MUCH quicker.
He did mention that.
Ha ha , I bought my first handgun ,a S&W M 17 ,from a deputy sheriff in the parking lot of the county courthouse !
Awesome story
Retired LEO after 41 years. Just for info regarding HR 218(Instructor), the 218 card is valid for only for one year unfortunately. Must be renewed yearly.
Correct. That's kind of a bummer
You dont need a concealed carry permit to conceal carry in idaho if your over 18 and not a felon or otherwise prohibited from obtaining a concealed carry permit
Correct. Pretty sweet
Question, I am currently a HR-218 permit holder in the state of Idaho. Was advised by North 40, that they “would not” honor my HR-218 card when purchasing a firearm and would require a complete background check?? Are they right or wrong?? Which Idaho statute does this fall under, if you happen to know??
They are right. That background check takes less than 5 minutes so it isn't a big deal at all.
I moved here in Idaho 7 years ago. I love the freedom here. God bless Idaho and you as well my brother.
Same to you! I have family that share your last name.
@@northidahoexperience awesome. Where do they come from? Mine are Pennsylvania Dutch, Pennsylvania mainly but some in Ohio, Delaware
What is the point of the CCW permit and going through that whole process when Idaho is a constitutional carry state?
Good question! I personally wouldn't bother with the regular CCW, but the Enhanced CCW gives you reciprocity in over 30 other states and waives the background check when you purchase a gun here. That one is worth it.
@@northidahoexperience I'm still confused. Do you need the regular CCW to carry concealed in your vehicle? If not than yes the regular is kinda pointless.
Former LEO and military. Just moved to ID. Great video!
Come to the Patriot Pour at Lyfe Public House on Wednesdays from 0800-10. It's your crowd
Do you know if there is anything like this in Southern Idaho?
The only time I open carry is when I am out in the woods, other than that it's nobodies business what I have........ I was not aware that with a CCW you don't have to get a background check. I bought a Glock 42 at the gun show in CDA last year and they did a background check so I wonder if they were not aware of it or if they were doing it as a CYA measure?
I fully agree with that! I don't care if other people do, but I won't.
I have my enhanced CCW and when I went through the required class I believe they said 38/50 states reciprocate.. Washington is one and Oregon requires their own permit but if you get it at the same time as Idaho, they accept Idaho's class in lieu of theirs.
Thanks for the info
Please for the love of god stay in California. Idaho is a horrible place. Bad weather, bad roads the trees are too short air quality is poor there are no jobs here, speeding tickets are wicked expensive, people are mean and ugly. Just not a nice place. Stay where you are.
Why would you get permission from the state with a CCW when you said that ya can carry open or concealed legally??? Confused!
You can bypass the background check when buying a gun...
Reciprocity with participating states and pre-clears bg check for future purchases, that's about it.
Thank you for this video, its one of the reason we moved here! Just got my enhanced CCW and because of your video with the current Sheriff letting me know about him I will be voting for him. Forwarded it to my friends and they also are voting for him.
Glad we could help!
I enjoyed this. THANKS!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree with you on all topics
Thanks!
As of today, suppressor approval from purchase to acquisition is literally less than two weeks. (electronically as an individual) Pretty awesome.
Incredible
I just recently found your channel - Thank you for all your content. Very Helpful.
My question - If I have an Enhanced CCW from another state, will I need to complete the courses again in Idaho to get the Idaho Enhanced CCW or will I be able to just renew it there? -Any differences
estrictions when I am living in Idaho with my out of state Enhanced CCW? -Thank You
Thanks! To get an Idaho enhanced CCW, you will need to complete the Idaho course. You can still carry here without a permit though.
Good to know. Thank You@@northidahoexperience
If I live in Idaho, you said I can private sell a gun without paperwork. Is that still true if I private sell to a family member visiting me from CA?
I am not sure. I would ask a gun shop
I wouldn't think that Idaho would be the problem... California, that's another story. I suggest that your family member investigate whatever peculiar rule they have for buying from another family member. Just about when you think you've got the rules sorted out, they come up with a new one. California has become a very "special place!"
I moved from Cali to Alaska for their freedom. Brother didn’t want to take the same leap as me but choose Idaho for the same reason.
You said you went to the Sheriff's office to get your CCW for all 50 states as a retired LEO. I'm curious which department you worked for that working 14 years is considered full retirement. Or can you get the Leosa 50 state CCW for only working a few years in a law enforcement job. Thanks for the video.
Correct. Medical retirement is included in that. Thanks!
Very cool. I'm looking at moving to your part of Idaho in a few months. I will definitely be in touch.
Give us a holler!
So can we (Idahoans) conceal carry without a CCW as part of constitutional carry?
🤦♂️ as he said, and as you should know if you live here...yes.
That’s what I thought but I got confused as to why I would need a CCW or what the purpose of it is besides not having to get background checks
Yea, honestly, it just makes gun purchases quick and easy. Aside from that, it is pointless unless u have plans to take it out of state.
@@jeffgarner3903it makes gun purchases easier and it shows your a conscientious trained CCW holder and if you cross into Washington it allows to legally conceal carry there and it 38 other states.
North idaho sucks.
Don't move here.
Tell your friends.
So a question in order to conceal carry in Idaho do need to get your Concealed weapons permit? I know you always hear that Idaho is constitutional carry but is that only for open carry? If so that to me would mean it not a constitutional carry state as you need permission/permit to conceal carry your firearm.
Nope, no permit needed to conceal!
@@northidahoexperience there just seems to be different info I have been seeing even on sheriffs association website and the states website. I do remember there was some legislation passed that allowed Idaho residents to permit-less conceal carry within City limits then in 2020 they opened it up to all US citizens that are not disqualified from owning a firearm. Just having a hard time finding those bills.
Thanks for laying out these laws in Idaho, made me very interested in pursuing this state license. Coming from CT, we are surrounded by fanatics antiguns folks.
It's worth having for sure
I left Idaho at age 18 to join the Marines because I wanted to see other places i spent 14 years trying to get home because I missed it so much. Many people from other states don't understand how non-restrictive gun laws make a place safer until it is explained to them. You can almost see that lightbulb go on when they finally understand.
Thanks for your service! Crayons are on me next time you're in town. 😉
It's nice having an Idaho enhanced CCW for crossing the border into Washington state, but all of my concealed pistols have "high capacity" magazines, which of course are currently banned in Washington. Would you recommend sourcing some neutered 10 round magazines for my firearms before crossing the border, "just in case", or am I being paranoid?
I'm in washington...
If you had purchased your 10+ round capacity firearm before the law went into effect, you are grandfathered in to own, carry, and use.
This was a concern of mine, then after listening to a gun rights lawyer (youtuber), and reading the layman's version, I knew I was ok.. as you are.
Not sure about that one, I'd be careful with that
There's the law as written, & then there's the law as interpreted by the officer on scene. I would assume most good cops wouldn't be fishing just to bust me on that one issue, but the wrong cop, at the wrong time, will use any excuse they can. Most LEO's I know support law abiding armed citizens, but not all of them.
@@Eric-gi9kgI don't have receipts to prove date of purchase for most of my magazines. Do you? I'd rather avoid the situation all together, but how would you prove that to a cop with a chip on his shoulder, handcuffed on the side of the road, over a "high capacity" magazine. I don't like it, but statistics say you only need 3 rounds, so for now, I'll just comply & carry extra mags.
Sounds fantastic, Im a prisoner of Los Angeles, hope to move in the next 5 years.
Hit me up when it's time. Stay safe down there!
Here is one that that makes north Idaho great, the lack of people. Just something to keep in mind, I lived in CDA area late 80s - 90's (It's not remotely the same now) Now I rarely even go to visit, I don't want to deal with the traffic and I am only an hour away lol
I'd like to keep my kids and other kids extra safe while they play. My question is if I can conceal carry at a public park without a CCW or ECCW permit? I have never been in trouble with the law for anything. Although this weekend I take my ECCW class, so I'm excited for that. Also, when I apply for the ECCW permit for my county, does that take 6 months or is the background check kinda quick?
Background check is fairly quick and you can carry concealed in most places
What about concealed license from other states? Can you still buy guns there or transfirm to that state if you are moving there
When purchasing a gun in ID, do they recognize any other ccw from a different state?
Is there a way to set up a gun trust (like in AZ) or something like that in Idaho so you just have to do a background check once for items such as suppressors?
You can do gun trusts here. Easiest and cheapest to find a form online
On concealed carry in idaho. As of March 2020, permitless concealed carry is legal in Idaho for citizens over the age of 18. In the concealed carry part I didn’t hear.
We've been in Spokane a long time but it's getting sub optimal on many levels. By 26.
Especially with the latest election...
I live in a constitutional carry state. No permit required in my state. Can I carry in Idaho without a permit?
Yes you can.
@@northidahoexperience thank you
@Dragon F I got a notification that you replied... But the cocksucking algorithm has hidden your reply. Just thought you'd like to know.
apparently wait time is three days if not applying through a trust right now for suppressors.
That's crazy fast!
Does that made in Idaho deal also translate over to SBR's?
I don't think so, bummer
Great video. I'm wondering if you know if military law enforcement qualifies under HR218. I'm a retired Air Force Security Police Supervisor (it's on my DD214). I've had an Idaho CCW in the past (as well as Virginia and Oklahoma).
Good question, I am not sure. I'd assume all sworn positions would qualify
Fellow military LEO here. It’s a Federally recognized system. So MIL-LEO’s qualify for it as well. I’d check to see if your time out of service might affect that though.
@@FishingTheIdahoPanhandle Thanks. I'll check into it
Do you have a a statute for the Idaho made suppressors?
Not offhand. Easy to find online
legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title18/T18CH33/SECT18-3315A/
18-3315A
Excellent video, ty brother!! If I have LEOSA should I even bother getting an Idaho permit? Will it offer me any benefit at all? Ty again!
You’re very welcome! I wouldn’t bother, it’ll only save you about 5 minutes when buying a gun. Wasn’t worth it to me.
@@northidahoexperience thank you!
Great concise information. Nice delivery. I also found the Triple-B is also an excellent course of information in purchasing firearms.
I too, an escapee from Washington State. Eastern Washington. Glad to be here (4 years) .. waited too long for sure. Thanks again. Good stuff.
Thank you sir!
Would you say it’s worth it as a retired LEO and have a HR218 (in my case, here in SW Idaho, we get qualified with a member of the S/O and get a printed out paper saying you qualified and are current in the HR218 - no “hard card” that I have seen or heard of?) is it a plus to have the enhanced CCW??
What ever happened to the ATF law they were trying to pass about the short stock or modified stocks on guns?
So when it comes to making a silencer saying made in idaho do I have to make it myself or can I pay a machine shop to make one for me? If that is a no do you know if I could have them make the pieces of one and if I assemble it would that be considered me making the suppressor
I think you can buy one already made if it meets the requirements. But double check - I'm not an expert
We are full.
Why do you need a CCW if ID allows open or concealed carry?
The enhanced CCW allows you to carry in some other states and you can also avoid a background check when buying a gun
So I think the last part about built suppressors is a little off. If I remember correctly, the law states "All gun, AND gun accessories that are built in the state of Idaho, and stay in the state of Idaho are legal without federal regulation." I only saw the stamp requirement on Montana's similar law. And since it states "gun accessories", it covers a wider area than just suppressors.
I'm fairly certain it must be stamped.
