I lived in Idaho for, oh, about 6 years. Left the state to move to CA in early December to provide live-in care for my mother after a major heart attack and open heart surgery. As a bonus, I get to have a job again yay. So, I'm working, and plan on putting myself through some schooling while I'm here, but still consider this move to be temporary at best.
Do I still qualify as a resident of Idaho? I think I do. I was able to find something that indicated I had up to 30 months after leaving the state, if the move was to be temporary or for schooling, that I could still be considered a resident.
This relates to firearms as I'm currently in CA, and want to buy a pistol that's off-list. That means I can't buy it here in CA, since the state hasn't drop tested it and been paid by the manufacturer to put it on the list. If I still qualify as a resident of Idaho, then I should be able to buy a firearm in Idaho, and ship it/import it to the state as my own property.
Just rolling the thought around, looking for input/advice/help. Anybody up here in the Idaho section able to give any input as to when my residency expires? All I was able to find on that relates to students, so I'm hesitant to use that as my basis. If I can't find something sufficiently concrete law to declare residency with, I'll have to reconsider my idea of puchasing a great little CA legal but off-list firearm up there. Help?
If anyone is interested, http://www.gunweek.com/2006/feature0910.htmlis the firearm I'm looking to get.
