Carrying without a permit within Idaho

January 10, 2016

It is legal in the State of Idaho for anyone who is at least 21 years of age to own and carry a firearm concealed as long as they are outside city boundaries. Incorporated areas that obtained at least the 125 votes required will have similar requirements.

Statute outlining carrying laws in the State of Idaho:

18-3302 (3) No person shall carry concealed weapons on or about his person without a license to carry concealed weapons, except: (a) In the person’s place of abode or fixed place of business; (b) On property in which the person has any ownership or leasehold interest; (c) On private property where the person has permission to carry concealed weapons from any person with an ownership or leasehold interest; (d) Outside the limits of or confines of any city.

(4) Subsection (3) of this section shall not apply to restrict or prohibit the carrying or possession of: (a) Any deadly weapon located in plain view; (b) Any lawfully possessed shotgun or rifle; (c) A firearm that is not loaded and is concealed in a motor vehicle; (d) A firearm that is not loaded and is secured in a case; and (e) A firearm that is disassembled or permanently altered such that it is not readily operable.

The residents of any unincorporated contiguous area (village) containing not less than 125 qualified electors may present a petition signed by a majority of the said electors to the board of commissioners of the county in which said petitioners reside, praying that they be incorporated as a city, designating the name they wish to assume and the metes and bounds of the proposed city.
