Idaho Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Can local governments in Idaho enact their own laws restricting firearms more stringently than state law?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Yes, but only in certain areas such as schools and government buildings

4. Yes, but such laws are not enforceable

The correct answer is: No

This is because according to Idaho's Constitution and state laws, only the state government has the authority to regulate firearms and ammunition. This means that local governments are not allowed to enact their own laws that restrict firearms more stringently than state law. Option A is incorrect because it implies that local governments have the right to regulate firearms, which is not true. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that local governments have limited power to restrict firearms in certain areas, but this is still not allowed under state law. Option D is incorrect because although local governments may attempt to enact such laws, they are ultimately not enforceable due to the state's authority over firearm regulation.
