What is the minimum age to legally possess and transport a firearm in Idaho without supervision?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Idaho, the law permits individuals who are at least 18 years old to legally possess and transport a firearm without the need for supervision. This age requirement stems from both state and federal laws, which recognize 18 as the age at which a person may assume legal responsibility for firearm ownership. Individuals below this age, while they may be involved in certain activities related to firearms, such as hunting or training, generally require supervision by an adult who is of legal age. This legal framework is designed to ensure responsible ownership and handling of firearms among younger individuals and encourages safety practices that can help in the responsible use of firearms as they mature. The other options, such as 21 years old or lower ages like 16, do not align with this legal framework in Idaho, which clearly establishes 18 as the age for unsupervised possession and transport.
