What age must individuals be to obtain a concealed carry permit in Idaho?

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Idaho, the legal minimum age to obtain a concealed carry permit is 21 years old. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals who wish to carry concealed firearms have attained a certain level of maturity and responsibility before being granted the privileges associated with carrying a concealed weapon. The law reflects an understanding that handling firearms safely requires not just knowledge and skill, but also the maturity to make judicious decisions in potentially critical situations. The law also aligns with federal regulations regarding the purchasing of firearms, which stipulate that individuals must be at least 21 years old to buy a handgun from a licensed dealer. Therefore, the age requirement for a concealed carry permit is consistent with these broader standards of firearm ownership and responsibility in the context of public safety.
