Can a non-resident of Idaho open carry a handgun within the state?

Yes, with no restrictions
No
Yes, with a permit from their home state
Yes, if they are over 21 years old

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit from their home state

In order to understand why this is the correct answer, it is important to understand the laws surrounding open carry and handguns in Idaho. Open carry in Idaho is legal for any person over the age of 18, provided they are not disqualified from possessing firearms. This means that while option A may seem like a possible correct answer, it is incorrect because there are some restrictions for open carry in Idaho. Option B is also incorrect because open carry is legal in Idaho, so a non-resident would not automatically be prohibited from doing so. Option D is also incorrect because while it is true that the legal age for handgun possession in Idaho is 21, this does not apply to open carry. Therefore, option C is correct because it accounts for the fact that while open carry in Idaho is legal for non-residents, they must have a permit from their home state to do so. This means that if a non-resident does not have a permit, they would not be able to open carry in Idaho.
