Question about non-resident license. I know you have to apply in person, but will the sheriff department mail the license to your home address or must it be licked up in person? Thanks.
My wife just submitted her application for her CCW at ADA county Sheriff's Dept. after taking a "Enhanced" class. They told her it takes 6-8 weeks to process and issue.

You're right Andrew. I remember now. I turned it in, they said the same time to get it, 6-8 weeks,but they called and said it was ready in 10 days. A lot quicker than I thought would happen. But that was when they first started the Enhanced.
Firearms safety is one thing, but knowing the use of force laws and local law enforcement views are another. You may want to consider taking a course just for those aspects. I have had CCW permits for over 30 years (even had one in CA) and got the enhanced CCW in ID, in the first batch of permittees. I found the day of firing required for the enhanced CCW (not required for the regular ID CCW) worth the time and money. We went from drawing and aiming to actually firing (e.g. 2 to the center of mass and one to the head if necessary). Correcting bad habits was also discussed.
Good shooting.
Yeah you're right...I don't CC in California so I don't know the applicable laws about legal usage of deadly force.
If I just got my permit to CC in Idaho and god forbid some ******* tries to attack me with a knife, I wouldn't know if I was in the legal to shoot him or not.
thanks, will look into taking a few classes before I apply for my permit.

Your problem, in all probability, would not be a legal problem but a civil problem. One must remember that you can be legally in the right and not have charges brought against you but this does not preclude having the person you shot bring civil charges against you and if you killed them their relative/s can bring suit against you in civil court. Just because you are in the right does not always clear you from a civil suit.

The question usually devolves into 2 other questions:
1) Am I in mortal fear of my life? and 2) Does the perp have the potential to carry out his threat? Someone screams, "I am going to kill you", but shows no weapon and you are a young, fit Hulk Hogan probably doesn't warrant a double tap before the first blows (if they come). But a knife in hand from the same guy means I draw and prepare to use deadly force.
If the answer in your mind is, Yes. Present and fire to stop him/her. You have no obligation in ID to run. Knives within 20 feet are deadly weapons and require instant defense. Worry about the legal ramifications later. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. BTW, in ID, your scenario would probably lead to charges by the local DA as a threat with a knife is viewed quite seriously. Civil lawsuit may be a possibility, but again in ID, people are strong into self-defense as being righteous. But, make no mistake, shooting someone will change your life in many ways.
In most cases, CCW holders will try to avoid using deadly force because carrying 9/10 the power of God on your hip, makes most of us quite humble. Walk away if you can. Being situationally aware is the first rule to help avoid using your weapon. But when the situation arises, it will be too late to give yourself psychoanalysis and the rules of the use of deadly force must have been rationalized in your mind a long time before the present.
But on the whole, I consider ID a safe State.BTW, I left CA 15 years ago because of their BS laws on guns and taxes along with liberal mindset on everything.

So very true! I can't believe how my attitude toward life has changed.
Appears I need to add ID to the short list.... Affordable, Open space. Freedom. Lack of hipsters. What could be better

Well, based on what I bolded, you won't like Boise or Sun Valley or Coeur d'Alene, and even Idaho Falls to some extent. Boise has the hipsters for sure.
You might check out Arco, Butte City, Bone, or Franklin.
