Are private firearms sales regulated in Idaho?

Yes, all sales require a background check
No, private sales are not regulated
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No, private sales are not regulated

In Idaho, private firearms sales are not regulated in the same way that commercial sales are. This means that individual citizens have the legal right to sell firearms to one another without the need for a background check or any formal process mandated by the state. This applies to all types of firearms, including handguns and long guns. The lack of regulation in private sales allows for more personal freedom in transactions between individuals, reflecting Idaho's generally permissive stance on gun ownership and transactions. While some other states have implemented more stringent requirements for private sales, Idaho does not impose such regulations, making the assertion that private sales are unregulated accurate. This context clarifies why options suggesting some form of regulation, such as requiring background checks or limiting regulations to specific scenarios, do not align with Idaho law about private firearm transactions.
