It's basically on the state line. They could open a FFL outside the back door. I bought a handgun there and picked it up at another Cabela's for free when I was traveling across the state

Here's a tip for you all... before waiting an hour to see a clerk at the gun counter (they only deal with one client at a time), make sure your drivers license is up to date  :bash:

With all this covid stuff and the DMV shut down, i've not renewed my license after my birthday, wanting to do the enhanced license and get it over with. I know the deadline has been extended but didn't want to pay twice, but now my sister tells me they only charge you the difference. Lesson learned!

I think that’s a national thing. You can’t legally buy a handgun in any state you are not a resident of. It has to be shipped to an ffl in your home state.

Long guns are generally not a problem to buy out of state, except for the headaches caused by 1639.

What's the process for buying a rifle in Idaho? Walk out same day like it used to be in WA? I made a point to buy all my guns before any of these psycho laws were made so I'm out of touch with what I-1639 entails.

Very true. I have been a resident of WA, I have purchased rifles in WI, UT, ID, and New Zealand, there was never an issue until I-1939. I tried to purchase a rifle in UT after I-1639 passed, they wouldn't sell it to me, they said I-1639 prevented a WA resident from purchasing rifles in UT. They did say that if I owned a home in Idaho under federal firearms laws I would be considered a dual resident and able to purchase as an Idaho resident. I had to call the county courthouse in the Idaho county where I have a home to send the tax ID number of my ID property. I was only able to purchase the rifle because I qualified as an Idaho resident under firearm laws, it was ok'd by NICS.

So you may have trouble trying to purchase a firearm in any state because you are a WA resident unless you own home/property in another state, in which case you apparently would be considered a dual resident and able to purchase as a resident of the other state.

Long guns: https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.122

RCW 9.41.122

Out-of-state purchasing.

Residents of Washington may purchase rifles and shotguns in a state other than Washington: PROVIDED, That such residents conform to the applicable provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, Title IV, Pub. L. 90-351 as administered by the United States secretary of the treasury: AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That such residents are eligible to purchase or possess such weapons in Washington and in the state in which such purchase is made: AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That when any part of the transaction takes place in Washington , including, but not limited to, internet sales, such residents are subject to the procedures and background checks required by this chapter.

When I buy a pistol in Oregon o pay to have it sent to the wa ffl they deal with. Then I pay the background check in wa and I also then have to pay tax on the weapon. Figure another 150$ once you go to pick it up in washing. And now expect to wait another week for mental health background check.. things are getting worse.
