Rooms For Rent
R. Alex Whitlock
The ad in the paper said that there were rooms available for $145 a month, furnished, all utilities paid.
Too good to be true? Maybe, so I checked it out.
I can see why it's $145 a month, furnished, all utilities paid.
Let's just say that it's not located in the greatest part of town. The neighborhood is such that the complex locks its front doors at 8pm (residents have a front key). They also have this thing about visitors: they're not allowed on the premises after 10pm. In fact, if found there they will be arrested for trespassing. While walking around the area, I began to wonder what Idaho's concealed handgun laws are.
The rooms are about 12"x16" or so. The furniture included: bed, dresser, nightstand, and a chair. The units have two windows and a closet. If you pay an extra $40, you get a bathroom and shower.
Oh, and I really, really, really want to live there. It is the neatest apartment complex I have seen in a very, very, very long time.
 
Observations
 
Idaho has open carry. If you want to have a gun around, just keep it visable and it's perfectly legal. I don't think anyone will mess with you with a visable sidearm, anyway. :)
And if you do want a concealed carry license, it's just as easy to get one in Idaho as in Texas, and probably a tad easier.
 
Why would you want to be located in that part of the town?
 
Because I clearly hate myself.
 
12 inches by 16 inches eh? Sounds very small indeed.
