I live in WA, 2 miles from the Idaho border. My ten acres is in Idaho, but zoned commercial and right next to the main North/South highway in the state. Lots of traffic noise. My plan is to sell the ten acres and my WA home then buy a decent home in Idaho in the country. But the prices are so crazy. We're talking around $650k for a decent house on a few acres. So I considered just fixing up my current home and building a shop for around $150k. Then I found out that the next gun control measure that the left coast commies in Seattle want is to require you to get a firearm purchase permit before buying ANY firearm. Part of that permit is a mental health evaluation. Well, since they decided that Ruger 10/22 rifles were assault rifles and now illegal to own, you can be sure that you will be denied a permit if you ever served in the US military in a combat role, or have ever been on an anti-depressant.
Since Seattle has total control of the politics in the state, this will likely pass next Spring, so I will be moving to Idaho one way or the other.
