Under which circumstance is it legal to carry a concealed weapon in Idaho without a permit?

When traveling to another state
When hunting or fishing
During a state of emergency
If over the age of 21

The correct answer is: When hunting or fishing

Carrying a concealed weapon in Idaho without a permit is permissible when hunting or fishing. This allowance recognizes the activity-related need for individuals engaged in these sports to carry firearms for protection or for the taking of game. Idaho law provides specific exemptions within the context of these activities, acknowledging that people may need their weapons accessible while outdoors. The other circumstances do not apply under the same legal provisions as hunting or fishing. For instance, carrying a concealed weapon while traveling to another state typically would still require adherence to relevant laws regarding permits in both the departing and destination states. Similarly, the concept of a state of emergency does not automatically grant individuals the right to carry without a permit; regulations remain in effect. Lastly, merely being over the age of 21 does not grant the legal right to carry concealed without a permit, as other qualifications and requirements must still be met.
