What is the minimum age requirement to possess and transport a handgun in Idaho without adult supervision?

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

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Idaho, individuals must be at least 18 years old to possess and transport a handgun without adult supervision. This age requirement is established to ensure that individuals are not only of a certain maturity level to handle firearms responsibly, but also to comply with certain federal and state laws regarding firearm ownership. The laws reflect a belief that at 18, individuals are likely to be legally recognized as adults who can make informed decisions regarding the safe use and handling of firearms. Anyone younger than this is generally prohibited from carrying a concealed weapon or handguns without adult guidance, reinforcing the importance of responsible firearm access and training during formative years. Understanding these legal thresholds is crucial for any discussion surrounding firearm safety and ownership in Idaho.
