Idaho Constitutional Carry

Posted by Aaron Hughston on Mar 16th 2020

I get this question ALL the time. People in Idaho think they do NOT need a license to carry a firearm due to Constitutional Carry laws. Word of suggestions check your self before you wreck your self!

This text is right from the Idaho.Gov website. I will post the link below.

As of July 1, 2019, Idaho statute allows residents 18 years of age, not disqualified from having a permit, to carry a concealed firearm statewide without a permit. Permitless carry is already legal outside of city limits for individuals 18 or older, and open carry is currently legal within city limits.

A person does not have to have a concealed weapons license to carry or be in possession of a deadly weapon or firearm in the following circumstances:

  • Any deadly weapon located in plain view;
  • Any lawfully possessed shotgun or rifle;
  • A firearm that is not loaded and is concealed in a motor vehicle;
  • A firearm that is not loaded and is secured in a case;
  • A firearm that is disassembled or permanently altered such that it is not readily operable; and
  • A concealed handgun by a person who is:
    • Over eighteen (18)) years of age;
    • A resident of Idaho; and
    • Is not disqualified from being issued a license under subsection (11) of this section.

A person who does have a concealed weapons license may carry a deadly weapon or firearm concealed and loaded in a vehicle.

It is unlawful for any person to carry a concealed weapon on or about his person when intoxicated or under the influence of an intoxicating drink or drug.

Concealed weapon licenses are still available from your County Sheriff. Residents must secure one to gain reciprocity in other states. The license is valid for five years.
