The Idaho Second Amendment Alliance has been working with Councilman Ryan Johnson of Lewiston to remove the illegal ban of firearms on their city buses. Councilman Johnson has been going back and forth with the city attorney who is attempting to do everything she can to keep the ban in place. She is deliberately trying to skirt Idaho law! You can read one of her emails below and how
I can’t believe what I am seeing right now. It was just a few weeks ago that citizens from several different cities told us about gun bans on Idaho buses in the Treasure Valley, Pocatello, and other cities. (This sign, from a Valley Ride Transit bus, has since been removed.) Several of those bans have been defeated! The battles aren’t over yet though. We need your help — more on
A quick update from our Preemption Project fight. Through the efforts of gun owners, several municipalities have agreed to make changes to their ordinances! There are more battles to fight and we’ll need your help yet again. More on that in a minute. It was just last week that we first told you about the City of New Plymouth and their previous refusal to change their firearm ordinance, and bring
It wasn’t just New Plymouth with illegal gun bans. Power County, Idaho also has a ban! We need your help once again — more on that below. We first reached out to Power County in September of 2014 with a letter informing the county of their violation. ISAA President Greg Pruett even met with the Power County Prosecutor to try and resolve the matter. That was over 2 years ago!
You did it! After Idaho gun owners spoke out about the illegal firearm ordinance in the City of New Plymouth, they have agreed to put an end to it. The Mayor informed me that after a “flood” of emails that they will get the ordinance removed as soon as possible! It is changes like these that only happen when gun owners speak out loud and clear about important
I can’t believe what I am seeing. Idaho is not a state where you would expect cities to agree with Michael Bloomberg and violate state gun laws. But that is exactly what is happening! We must stand up to these municipalities and demand compliance with the law and we’ll tell you how you can help in just a minute. But first, let me give you a little background to it
We have an important update for Buhl residents or those who have been following the situation in Buhl, Idaho regarding their firearms ordinance. The City Council President, Mr. Higbee, has informed the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance that their ordinance has been updated. The wording regarding the discharge of firearms in city limits has been removed from the ordinance. We appreciate the city council and citizens who took an active part
While cities like Buhl fight and claw against necessary changes to their codes, other cities like Mt. Home work quickly to comply with state law. When the ISAA recently held a “Castle Doctrine” rally at Legacy Park in Mt. Home, we noticed that the sign at the park prohibited firearms. Such a prohibition violates Idaho’s preemption statute. The ISAA sent the city of Mt. Home a letter notifying them of
For several years now the ISAA has been working on a “Preemption Project” to bring all city and county codes into compliance with Idaho law and to help remove any signs which are in violation as well. In total, 45 changes have been made in 42 cities/counties! 2 of those changes just occurred recently in Washington County and Cassia County. Each of these counties had ordinances that said you could
