Is open carry permitted in Idaho?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, but only with a permit
No
Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry is indeed permitted in Idaho without the need for a permit. This means that individuals in Idaho can openly carry a firearm in public without the requirement of any specific training or licensing that is necessary for concealed carry. The law emphasizes the right of individuals to bear arms openly under the Second Amendment. Idaho law allows citizens to exercise their right to bear arms for their personal safety and self-defense purposes without bureaucratic hurdles. This open carry law applies uniformly across the state regardless of the nature of the area—urban or rural—as long as the person respects other laws pertaining to the carrying of firearms. The other responses suggest restrictions or conditions that do not align with Idaho's open carry regulations. Understanding the nuances of these laws is essential for responsible firearm ownership and carrying in Idaho.
