Idaho Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Can a person carry a concealed weapon in Idaho without a permit outside city limits?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only with special permission

4. Only if the weapon is unloaded

The correct answer is: Yes

In Idaho, individuals are permitted to carry concealed weapons without a permit outside the city limits. This regulation stems from the state's constitutional carry law, which allows residents who are 18 years and older to carry concealed weapons without the need for a permit, provided they are legally eligible to possess a firearm. This means that as long as the individual is not engaging in prohibited behavior and is not carrying the weapon in a restricted area, they can legally carry concealed in unincorporated areas of Idaho without the requirement of obtaining a permit. This law reflects Idaho's approach to firearms and individual rights, emphasizing personal responsibility and the ability to exercise the Second Amendment rights without excessive governmental restrictions, particularly away from urban environments where different regulations may apply.
