Because of 114 I can’t buy that nice revolver in the classifieds

[THREEDFLYER]

I just read through the 114 documents......I am amazed at the amount of restrictions that are in this "public safety" law!!!

After 30 years in Washington State and 6 years in Arizona I am very pleased to be in a somewhat stable Idaho.....although it seems to be turning purple due to the bigger cities on the west side of the state.

It would have been great to add a portion of Oregon to Idaho.....but that would have been a monumental task to say the least.

Yes, would need OK from Oregon and Idaho legislatures. Then pass US congress. DC is never going to let states get pieced out.

I once lived in Oregon for 12 years. The hunting & fishing & crabbing were wonderful. But the politics were strange, It got worse after I left.

California, Oregon,Washington... enough said.

No sympathy here, the people get the government they elect.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned a C&R FFL? In most states, a C&R FFL is honored as long as the gun is at least 50 years old. It is a must for me since I only purchase C&R qualified handguns. 3 years for $30 is well worth filling out an application online with the BATFE. Quick turnaround and you are good to go if you follow the state guidelines when using your license. Of course there may be a few states that might make it difficult to use your C&R FFL, but I have not heard of any to date.

Since you mentioned buying a Triple-Lock, it would be a perfect option to avoid the background check backup. Today, even pre-1962 Model 29 Magnums are classified as C&R eligible. 99% of all purchases I have made will take my C&R FFL and what few do not, they go on my naughty list and I avoid them forever. In my mind, it is a must for any collector, including vintage long-arms purchased online.

For all the unnecessary taxes we pay here in PA, plus the winters, I still like it in this state for many reasons stated above. Longest I ever waited was an hour to take my firearm purchase home. We have our problems, but I can live with them.

I have had my C&R license for many years, since living in Washington State and it definitely makes being a collector much easier when it comes to shipping to/from other states and in your home state.

You brought up a great point. C&R FFLs are great for selling any firearm you own over 50 years old.
