How is the weather throughout the year?
Are there any areas you'd recommend to get some acreage on?

2a,   Most areas of Idaho have your general four seasons.  Though if you move into the central and northern mountains you will have a very cold winter with 6+ feet of snow per year.  If you look further south in the high desert you will still have very cold winters, but not as much snow.  Outside of the Boise(Treasure Valley area) and the few resort areas land prices are still good, most areas you can find 20+ acres for 50K-70K, or a nice house on the same amount of land for in the 200's.  It is a beautiful state with friendly people and you can drive 10 - 15 minutes from almost any town and find your own private shooting range on federal land.  CCW is cheap and easy to get, if you have ever taken a hunter safety class, or any pistol safety class it will work for the permit.  If you don't want a permit you can open carry anywhere, and once you are outside of an incorporated city you can CC without a permit.  I would suggest anyone interested in freedom take a look at Idaho.  It is truly a great place.

My first gun was a Winchester Model 94 .30-30.  It was my Grandfathers, then my fathers, then I got it on my 12th birthday when I became old enough to hunt big game(in Idaho).  I shot my first deer and my first bear with it that year.  It still shoots just like it was brand new, though it doesn't look like it.

I am new in Hawaii, how is he good for us.  Does he support 2A and our right to defend ourselves?  Is he going to approve more than just 1 concealed carry application?  Any information on this would be great.

Hello Everyone,

I found you through THR.  I am glad to see this in Hawaii.  I am active army, and just got stationed here in July 09.  I must say that the experience of having to go downtown and register my guns was the worst experience of my life.  I am from the free state of Idaho, and never thought I would have to register a firearm.  Anyway, now that I am here I would like to help to change the laws of Hawaii in any way I can.  Glad to be aboard.
