What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Idaho without the supervision of a parent or guardian?

  1. 18 years

  2. 19 years

  3. 21 years

  4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 18 years

In Idaho, the law permits individuals who are at least 18 years old to possess and transport a handgun without the supervision of a parent or guardian. This aligns with both state and federal regulations regarding the legal age for firearm possession. The age of 18 is significant because it marks the transition into adulthood where an individual is granted certain rights and responsibilities, including the ownership and handling of firearms. In contrast, individuals younger than 18, even if they have parental supervision, are restricted in what firearms they may possess and the contexts in which they are allowed to use them. Other ages mentioned do not apply in Idaho for the independent possession and transportation of handguns.
