What is required to openly carry a handgun in Idaho?

A special permit
Proof of firearm training
Nothing, it is allowed without a permit
Carrying openly is not legal in Idaho

The correct answer is: Nothing, it is allowed without a permit

In Idaho, openly carrying a handgun is generally permitted without the need for a special permit. This is consistent with the state's gun laws that allow individuals over the age of 18 to bear arms openly as a fundamental right, as long as they are not prohibited by law from possessing firearms. This reflects Idaho's strong support for Second Amendment rights and personal freedoms regarding firearm ownership and carry. While other states may have more restrictive regulations regarding openly carrying a handgun—such as requiring permits, proof of training, or even prohibiting it altogether—Idaho's framework allows for lawful open carry without additional hurdles. This accessibility ensures that residents can exercise their rights without unnecessary bureaucratic barriers.
