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
Picture this. Your daughter is leaving from work late one night — tired and exhausted from the day’s work. As she gets to her car to pull out her keys, she spots someone. A man begins running toward her from a distance, a knife in his stand — with no signs of stopping. Your daughter makes the decision to pull out her gun, rather than attempt to get her car
Now that the 2017 session is over in Boise, it’s important that gun owners take stock of what went right and what went wrong this session in the fight for the Second Amendment. Of course, 2016 was a fantastic year as we enacted Constitutional Carry legislation! This year, things moved at a slower pace. Our Castle Doctrine bill, sponsored by Rep. Christy Zito, was shutdown at every turn by Chairman
This is going to be the biggest event in Idaho Second Amendment Alliance history. This will be the event in the 2018 Gubernatorial Election that everyone is talking about. But we need your help. More on that below. Our Board of Directors had a long conversation about what we wanted to do for a rally in the 2018 session. Normally we do our annual rally at the Capitol but we
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 expect to see gun bans in New York and California, but right here in Idaho? Well, that’s what is happening in New Plymouth! We need your help to get this gun ban overturned — more on that below. In 2014, when the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance started the “Preemption Project”, the ordinance in New Plymouth was one of the most egregious. So, we sent them a letter on November
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
