How's Idaho?

If ya come here, appreciate it for what it is. Please don't try to make it like where you come from.
I had a good freind who lived in Idaho Falls. I went to visit a couple of times during the Summer. Incredibly beautiful place in the Summers when I visited. However, my freind used to tell me about the Winters there and from what he said they sounded pretty harsh. Lots of snow for long periods of time. For a California boy (as I was at the time, this was disconcerting). California has some awesomely beautiful places as well that rival anything in the rest of the US. The best part is you can go visit those awesome places and go back to temperate climates during Winter. If you like the Winter weather this would be a good place. I don't know if the whole state is that way.
One advantage with Idaho is that you have a shall issue State for CCW and lots of hunting and other outdoor activities available. Usually not too far away. In California, the gun laws really SUCK badly (I can't say what I really think about CA gun laws due to the inappropriate language I would have to employ). The Idiots from L.A. (Los Angeles, not lower Alabama) and San Fran. keep voting in commies. Most of these people don't even have a clue and they just vote for the incumbents. Di FI and Boxer. 2 first class facists.
I bet if Chuckie Shumer moved to CA he would get elected to some high office.
Just depends what your priorites are. You may want to go there, near where you would like to settle and spend a week or two and talk to the locals. They can tell you what to expect and then you can make a more informed decision. Also if you need to make a living there you can get a better idea of the job market.

cpileri, from the Idaho Constitution: Article I Section 14:
Now here's the tricky part (caveat). The Idaho Legislature has, over the years, redefined eminent domain and "public use" to mean just about everything. But, you can take them to court (in fact, you will have to take them to court) where the Constitutional definition has authority over statutory definitions and law. The authorities have never appealed beyond the initial district court trial. They are too afraid that the Idaho Supreme Court would vacate all those statutory references. So for the most part, they bully people into selling their property. Most folk fall for it. Afterall, most folks think their elected things know what they are doing. Those folks who know their constitution and stand up to them, win. Every time. Tons of case law.
Oh, Idaho is a preemptive state, when it comes to gun laws. Only the Legislature may pass gun laws. It's kind of a sacred cow here. There's a long story behind that. Suffice it to say, the Legislature can regulate how you carry, but it cannot outright forbid you to carry... Usual exceptions for felons, court houses and jails.
You have to read that carefully. Public use, is defined in clause 1. Clause 2 doesn't mean what you might think. Nowhere else within the Constitution is "public use" defined...

I just spent a long weekend there for a family reunion. I managed to notice a few things that I thought were important.
I live in that armpit of liberalism called "Oregon." Here, if I want to look for a new gun, I am pretty much forced to look in the established gun stores and, if I do buy, fill out a 4473. The primary fish-wrapper here, "The Oregonian," carefully hides any classified ads for guns in the "Sporting Goods" classification, along with dozens of pool tables. There is a free weekly hand-out that lists "Firearms and Ammo," but even that is kinda anemic.
The "Idaho Statesman" has a classifed listing entitled simply "Guns."
To me, this indicates a completely different thought process among those who live there. After our daughter has left the nest and my wife is ordained, we are seriously considering a move to some small town in Idaho.

Reminds me of one of my best friends in the Corps who happens to be from ID. When he learned that 29 Palms is right next to Joshua Tree National Forest he got all excited. He didn't know what a Joshua Tree was, and thought it's be the same as the national forests in ID. Lots of pines etc. The look on that poor boys face as the bus pulled into this desolate hell-hole ranks as one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Idaho? I live way up North in the Panhandle - it's full of Nazi's and California rejects. Don't come here. We've got two seasons, winter and road construction. There is no work. You should look at New Hampshire or Vermont, both those states are supposed to be good places to live.
Born and raise in Southern N.H. now a days Southern N.H. is just an ugly step child of Massachusetts. Idaho now is much like N.H. use to be in the 70's
Up north N.H. Milan / Berlin / Stark is allot like Idaho, but south - Manchester, Nashua and the rest is just a suburb of Boston. Much like Oregon is a suburb if Kalifornie'
Idaho Grizzly Notice
IDAHO GRIZZLY NOTICE
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly
bear
conflicts,
the Idaho Department of Fish and Game as well as
National Forest
service are advising hikers, hunters, and
fishermen to
take extra
precautions and keep alert for bears while in the
field.
We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little
bells on
their
clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't
expecting them. We
also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray
with
them in case of
an encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh
signs of
bear
activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the
difference
between
black bear and grizzly bear droppings. Black bear
droppings are
smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel
fur.
Grizzly
bear dung has little bells in it and smells like
pepper spray.
shucks,hard to believe no one posted this yet
