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

Yes, immediately after conviction
No, never
Yes, after a certain period and/or restoration of rights
Only if the felony is not violent

The correct answer is: Yes, after a certain period and/or restoration of rights

In Idaho, individuals convicted of a felony can regain their right to own a firearm, but this is contingent on specific conditions. This restoration often requires the completion of the sentence, including prison time, parole, or probation, and can involve a wait period or application to have rights restored. The process is designed to consider the nature of the felony and the individual's rehabilitation efforts, allowing for the possibility of firearm ownership again after certain criteria are met. This approach reflects a belief in the potential for rehabilitation and the importance of balancing public safety with the rights of individuals who have completed their sentences. Hence, restoration of rights is not automatic and typically involves legal procedures outlining eligibility and the necessary steps to restore the right to possess firearms.
