In Idaho, what is the minimum age for someone to purchase a shotgun or rifle?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

The minimum age to purchase a shotgun or rifle in Idaho is indeed 18 years old. This aligns with federal law, which allows individuals 18 years and older to buy long guns, including shotguns and rifles. The age requirement is based on the understanding that individuals at this age are legally considered adults capable of making responsible decisions regarding firearm ownership. Consequently, if someone under 18 attempts to purchase a shotgun or rifle, they would be unable to do so legally. This age restriction is essential for ensuring that firearm ownership is regulated and that appropriate training and responsibility are expected from buyers.
