What is required to legally purchase a firearm in Idaho?

  1. State-issued firearm license

  2. Background check for all purchases

  3. Proof of Idaho residency

  4. Membership in a gun club

The correct answer is: Proof of Idaho residency

To legally purchase a firearm in Idaho, proof of residency is a key requirement. Idaho does not mandate a state-issued firearm license or membership in a gun club for gun purchases, making such credentials unnecessary for the process. Additionally, while background checks are conducted for purchases made through licensed dealers, private sales do not impose the same requirement under Idaho law. Therefore, establishing proof of Idaho residency is fundamental, as it confirms that the buyer is eligible to obtain firearms within the state’s jurisdiction. This ensures compliance with local laws and regulations.
