Can non-residents purchase handguns in Idaho?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but only with a permit
No
Yes, if they pass a background check

The correct answer is: Yes, if they pass a background check

In Idaho, non-residents can legally purchase handguns, but they must undergo a background check as part of the purchasing process. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals are not prohibited from owning firearms due to criminal history or other disqualifying factors. The background check is a standard procedure that applies to all firearm sales through licensed dealers, regardless of the buyer's residency status. While other options may suggest differing degrees of restrictions or requirements, they do not accurately reflect the law as it pertains to non-residents obtaining handguns in Idaho. Having a permit is not a prerequisite for non-residents, nor is there an outright ban on their purchases. The requirement for a background check aligns with efforts to promote responsible gun ownership and public safety.
