1. We were up in Bonners Ferry over the weekend, visiting from SW Idaho. What a great place!

2. RE: NICS Checks. I bought a new gun in August, the NICS check came back in about five minutes.

3. Regarding the Idaho stop. Growing up in Michigan, I thought they were Michigan stops. Then I moved to New York and I learned they are New York stops and all those people in Michigan were just New York transplants.

   1. Lol here in NY we always called them California stops!

4. Here in Oregon I typically get my guns in less than 30-minutes; until I bought one in May which took eight days! Then I bought one in August which took eleven minutes, and one in September which took ten minutes- the que was over 8,000 at State Police FICS, but for some reason frequent flyers pass to the head of the line. Fortunately, I am not one in desperate need for my very first weapon to answer an emerging threat. I cannot believe how poorly the system operates.

   Interestingly, Oregon state law says this: “One of the following 3 determinations will be provided within 30 minutes or less to the transferor at the time the background check is requested, as required by Oregon law. [Approved. Denied. Pend/Delay]” But, this is Katie Brown’s feifdom and the law means nothing.

   Anyone who keeps track of the progressive long game will see what is happening: perhaps the gubbermint is getting folks accustomed to the long wait so they can “come to the rescue” with a mere 3-day waiting period? Our saviors! Why, any reasonable gun owner would get behind that if it sped things up! I know the NRA would back that in a heartbeat because they are on the wrong side of the 2A discussion.

   Always watch the other hand when the gubbermint is involved.
