When it comes to living in Idaho, odds are high that you own a gun, your neighbor owns a gun, your coworkers own them, and people in church likely own them. They are a big part of living in the Gem State, and not only do most have them, but often are actively carrying them. They are great for protection and are likely why there aren't many shootings in Idaho, because entering a home would not end well here. They are also great for hunting. Idaho has a variety of animals to hunt which makes for some of the best hunting in the country. What would you do though, if you had the gun, saw a tag, but couldn't enjoy the meat?
