Another CA resident here (sorry)... My family has property in Idaho where we spend almost half the year in Harrison where I work remotely and thus file tax returns in both states. I also have a mortgage in my name in Idaho and I currently have a CA DL, but I'll be applying for an Idaho ID from an Idaho DMV.
I'm wondering if I will be able to apply for an Idaho CWL in my county and purchase firearms in Idaho. I already know that I can not import them into CA and it isn't my intention to do so. The firearms will stay in Idaho. Upon reading through various state publications on taxation, residency, state statutes regarding firearms, and ATF definition of dual residency, it looks like I can legally do this. To be safe, my intention is to consult with an attorney once I get my Idaho ID but I was hoping to hear if anyone knows of something I missed that might prevent me from doing this so I don't waste my time.
It is also my understanding that I can purchase firearms already if I present my CA DL and another document that shows evidence of my domicile in Idaho. However, the challenge has been finding an FFL that will sell to someone who is also CA resident (dual or not), which is understandable due to California's maze of firearm laws, hence the reason why I am trying to go down the route of having a set of Idaho identification (DMV ID and CWL).
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance guys.
