UPDATE!!!!
I have been in contact with the Operations Administrator of the Dept of IDPR (ID Parks and Rec), and am finally starting to recieve some feedback from them.
I have also been in contact with my local Representative, Rep Tom Trail. He is indeed a good man.
After I contacted Rep. Trail, he informed me that he forwarded my concerns to the ID Atty. General's office (the same office that just upheld Idaho's preemption laws so that Moscow's Mayor can't ban firearms). He told me today that he will be forwarding the AG's response to me tomorrow. I will post it here ASAP.
I got a letter from the IDPR Operations Administrator today as well. My letter was forwarded to him by the IDPR Director. I would like to cite a paragraph from his letter that confused me:
"It is not, and never has been, the intent of the Board to ban firearms from our state parks and facilities. Rule 600 provides regulatory guidance for park visitors on how to manage firearms while visiting on IDPR property. They are not phohibited, but must be unloaded and transported either out of sight or in a vehicle, unless the situation meets the exceptions delineated in the rule."
I understand that they are allowed, the Brits are allowed to own firearms (on some occasions). But they must be locked in a safe, dissassembled and stored seperately from ammunition - among a laundry list of restrictions. Mr. Sangrey doesn't understand where we are coming from.
I am looking at this from a self defense perspective, and he seems to be of the camp that only supports firearms posession if it for sporting purposed - or because you just like to have them in the vehicle in case you need to hammer in your tent stakes.
I disagree with almost everything he stated in the letter, but I appreciate the fact that he put a lot of thought into it.
I will be in contact with him again, and will update my post once I have recieved a response from Rep. Trail.
God bless Idaho, and God bless the USA
