Can individuals convicted of a felony possess firearms in Idaho?

Yes
No
Yes, after a certain period
Yes, if the conviction is expunged

The correct answer is: No

In Idaho, individuals convicted of a felony generally cannot possess firearms. This restriction is rooted in both state and federal laws, which aim to prevent those who have committed serious crimes from having access to firearms. The law reflects a commitment to public safety, acknowledging that individuals with a felony conviction may pose a higher risk of committing further offenses involving firearms. The other choices present scenarios that have specific conditions or are misleading. For instance, being eligible to possess firearms after a certain period or having a conviction expunged might apply under certain circumstances in other jurisdictions but does not fully capture the strict prohibitions that Idaho imposes on felons regarding firearm possession. Therefore, the correct understanding aligns with the viewpoint that felony convictions result in a ban on firearm possession in Idaho.
