Naw old lady new shooter, it's not like that everywhere - at least not for long guns. Our oldest grandson moved from here to Nevada for employment after he graduated college in 2018. By the time he came home to Idaho on vacation last Christmas, he was a legal
Nevada resident. Yet he went ahead and bought himself an AR while he was home, and took it back to Nevada with him when he left.
However, while he was here a few weeks ago, he was telling us that he had bought himself a Glock 19 in Nevada (because, being a Nevada resident now, he couldn't legally buy it in Idaho) but he's thinking about taking the class and getting his Nevada CCW license - which has reciprocity with Idaho.
Another example was several years back, my wife spotted a Smith 38 snubby that she "had to have" on a dealers table when we were at a gunshow in Salt Lake City, Utah. The dealer said he couldn't sell it to her because my wife is an Idaho resident. However, the dealer told us that he was the owner of "such and such" gun and pawn in Pocatello, and he told my wife that if she was serious, he'd put the gun under the table, and take it back to Pocatello with him on Sunday night.
As near as I could gather from the conversation, that Pocatello dealer had transferred all of the handguns he had brought with him to the other guy behind the table who
was a Utah gun dealer, and when he went back to Pocatello on Sunday night, that other guy would transfer all of the handguns that had not sold at the Utah gunshow back to him.
Anyway, that's what happened - my wife assured the guy that she was serious, and she went to the gun and pawn on Monday morning, filled out the paperwork, gave the guy her CCW license, paid for the gun, and brought it home. She still has it, and it's one of her favorite handguns.
Edited to include one more example - when my Shiloh-Sharps .45-110 was complete, my wife and I simply drove to Big Timber, Montana and picked it up. I filled out the paperwork and finished paying for it right there in the front office of Shiloh Rifle Company. Then I brought my new rifle back home to Idaho.
