Can a person convicted of a felony own a firearm in Idaho?

Yes, after serving their sentence
No, it is permanently prohibited
Yes, but only after a pardon
Yes, if the conviction is expunged

The correct answer is: Yes, but only after a pardon

The most accurate option is that a person convicted of a felony in Idaho can potentially own a firearm after receiving a pardon. In Idaho, a pardon can restore a felon’s right to possess firearms, provided they meet specific criteria and have gone through the appropriate legal process. Other responses may reflect situations where rights can be restored or mechanisms in place, but without a pardon, the ability to possess firearms is generally restricted. Time served or expungement does not automatically reinstate firearm rights in every case, highlighting the importance of formal processes like pardons in the legal framework of firearm ownership for felons in Idaho.
