Under what condition is it legal to carry a firearm on school grounds in Idaho?

With a valid CWL
If you are a parent of a student there
Only for school sanctioned activities
It is never legal

The correct answer is: With a valid CWL

In Idaho, it is legal to carry a firearm on school grounds when you have a valid Concealed Weapons License (CWL). This law reflects the state’s recognition of the rights of individuals who have undergone the required background checks and training associated with obtaining a CWL. Having this license indicates that the individual is considered responsible and has been vetted by authorities, thus allowing them to carry a concealed weapon, even in areas like school grounds. The reason other options are not correct includes the stipulations regarding parental presence and school-sanctioned activities. Simply being a parent does not grant the legal authority to carry a firearm on school property without the proper licensing. Moreover, having a gun only for school-sanctioned activities does not exempt an individual from needing a CWL. Lastly, asserting that it is never legal to carry firearms on school grounds contradicts the legal framework established in Idaho, as the CWL provisions allow for this under specific circumstances.
