Who is prohibited from owning a firearm in Idaho?

Convicted felons
Individuals reported for a misdemeanor
Anyone under the age of 16
Non-residents

The correct answer is: Convicted felons

The correct answer regarding who is prohibited from owning a firearm in Idaho is that convicted felons are restricted from firearm ownership. Under both federal and Idaho state law, individuals who have been convicted of a felony lose their right to possess firearms. This law is intended to reduce the risk of firearm-related incidents by preventing individuals who may pose a danger to themselves or others from having access to weapons. The other choices do not reflect the same level of prohibition as felons. While individuals reported for a misdemeanor may face consequences, misdemeanors do not typically lead to a loss of firearm rights unless they involve specific circumstances, such as domestic violence. Additionally, the restriction on younger individuals owning firearms is usually related to minors under the age of 18 rather than 16. Non-residents can also legally own firearms in Idaho, provided they comply with federal and state laws applicable to firearm ownership.
