That is good news. I used to be concerned about the tax thing, but then I talked to one of the company's PR guys.

Cabela's operates as three separate companies...and retail stores are separate from the catalog store. As a result, state tax doesn't get charged on catalog orders. He said that the company won't go into a state that doesn't recognize that fact.

Having said that, with a new Congress in which the ruling party is more interested in taxes than the previous, I predict that catalog orders will be taxed fairly soon whether there is a store in the state or not.

Also, Cabela's just announced that they're building a store in Post Falls, Idaho, just east of Spokane.
