Can minors under 18 possess firearms in Idaho?

  1. Yes, with parental supervision

  2. No, it is prohibited

  3. Yes, for hunting and shooting sports

  4. Yes, but only air guns

The correct answer is: Yes, with parental supervision

In Idaho, minors under the age of 18 can possess firearms under certain conditions, primarily when they have parental supervision. This allows for responsible introduction and handling of firearms in a controlled environment, such as during hunting or target shooting activities with a parent or guardian present to ensure safety and compliance with the law. This understanding is grounded in Idaho law, which permits minors to engage in activities involving firearms with adult supervision, emphasizing the importance of safety training and proper handling techniques during these formative experiences. This approach reinforces responsible gun ownership while also allowing minors to learn valuable skills. Other options, while they address specific scenarios, do not capture the broader allowance provided in Idaho law for minors to possess firearms under parental guidance. For example, while minors may hunt and participate in shooting sports, the critical aspect here involves parental supervision, which provides a structured and safe environment for firearm possession and use.
