The National Firearms Act (NFA) regulates the possession, use, and transfer of several different types of weapons. These weapons are commonly referred to as “Title II” weapons and include machine guns, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, suppressors, destructive devices, and Any Other Weapons (AOWs). State laws may also further restricts the possession and use of these weapons. In Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, it is legal to own and use many NFA firearms as long as the NFA regulations are followed. Under the NFA there are two ways to acquire Title II…Read More
Why shouldn’t a concealed carry permit issued by one state be honored by another, just as a driver’s license or photo ID card? The need for personal protection doesn’t diminish when traveling from Oregon to California, for example. In addition, the power of the Second Amendment should not be diminished for the resident of one state entering a neighboring state. HR 822, passed by the House and now stalled in the Senate, would require states to do just that: it requires reciprocity between all states issuing concealed carry permits. According…Read More

I can’t get too excited about Dianne Feinstein’s proposed “assault weapons ban” being dropped from the federal gun control package. Even supporters of the ban admitted it had zero chance of passing in the Senate, and it will still be proposed as part of the deal via an amendment. So, there’s really no surprise, and with the gun control package still under consideration (including a ban on large capacity magazines), and in light of the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty, there is little for Second Amendment advocates to celebrate. The proposed…Read More
The Idaho Senate is still considering House Bill 192, which allows applicants of concealed carry permits to apply for an “enhanced” permit if they meet “enhanced” criteria. The additional criteria includes live-fire range time and instruction on gun laws. Some gun owners support this bill, because they expect that the enhanced Idaho concealed carry permit will allow Idaho permit holders to enjoy greater reciprocity in other states. The current Idaho resident concealed carry permit is granted reciprocity in 28 states. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Second Amendment advocates…Read More
