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

The correct answer is: 18

In Idaho, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is indeed 18 years old. This regulation aligns with the federal standard that allows individuals 18 and older to own firearms, including handguns, and it is stipulated in Idaho law. Individuals who are 18 years old can legally transport a handgun in a private vehicle or on their person, provided that they are not in a prohibited location and are not engaging in unlawful activities. Younger individuals, such as those who are 16 or 17, must typically have adult supervision to possess or transport a handgun legally. Additionally, the age of 21 is often referenced in the context of purchasing firearms from licensed dealers, but this does not apply to possession and transportation by individuals who are 18 and older in Idaho. Therefore, the correct age to meet the criteria specified in the question is indeed 18.
