How are Idaho guns shows compared with WA? I'm in Monroe and have been to the gun show here a number of times (though COVID seems to have possibly killed those for a while). Are the shows pretty much the same in Idaho? Same basic inventory, same basic rules and laws, etc?
Don’t know about Idaho but it seems to me, the few I’ve been to, it’s just a bunch of dealers selling at retail prices (even seen more than retail).

Yes, most of the guns are priced right around retail from what i've seen as well. I have gotten some deals on ammo and other accessories. But also wondering about the difference in rules and laws? Do you have to have membership? FFL? etc?

It's Idaho, no FFL for private sales. If they're licensed/dealer then probably do need an FFL. Sometimes you can find deals but in my experience, there is a lot of price gouging. You'll find some tables that do cash and carry.
Ones I've been to there's just a fee to enter. I was at the Moscow one last weekend and it was $9 to get in. I haven't been to one since pre-covid and seemed to be a lot less stuff this time around. Seemed like about a third of it was non-firearms related.

Great, thanks for the info. Appreciate it!

So if you make a purchase in ID, and you are from WA:
-handguns would need to be shipped to a WA FFL
-Long guns need an FFL but can use an ID FFL
Am I remembering this correctly?

Correct me if I am wrong however, but I think there are some Federal restrictions for interstate transactions - even private party.

Ugh. I hate our state. Wasn't too long ago I met with a police officer at one of their shooting ranges and we simply traded guns. Was no big deal. 2 responsible adults doing a reasonable transaction that will never be an issue to anyone ever. :bash:

If I have my facts straight - not 100% that I do - these would be Federal laws, not State. So While WA does indeed suck.... this particular suckage comes from DC!

Are those new federal laws? Because in the past, people swapped and sold guns with no paperwork, no FFL, all the time in this state....

Again, this assumes I am am remembering correctly! I am sure there is someone on here who knows better than I do. Just be sure it is legal to transfer firearms between private parties who live in different states before doing so!

Interstate Gun Sales
Federal law for interstate gun sales and other transfers – those occurring between two people who are not Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) who live in different states — is pretty straightforward. A person who is not an FFL cannot acquire a handgun from anyone – an FFL or any other person – who lives in another state. A person (the “transferee”) acquiring a long gun must do so through a licensed dealer (FFL). It can be an FFL in any state, the transfer must comply with the laws of the FFL’s and the transferee’s states.
....
The only exceptions relate to things like gun repairs. If you need to send your gun out of state to an FFL manufacturer, you can so do directly without going to a local FFL. That FFL manufacturer can also send your gun back to you directly.

Who would know if you bought from an Idaho private party and took the gun home to Wash.?
you and God!
(kidding aside - probably nobody but I suppose if the gun was stolen and somehow you showed up with it that might start and investigation with questions that were difficult to answer.)
