Can non-residents of Idaho carry a concealed weapon in the state?

  1. Yes, if they have a permit from their state

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only with an Idaho concealed weapons permit

  4. Yes, under federal law

The correct answer is: Yes, if they have a permit from their state

The correct answer is that non-residents of Idaho can carry a concealed weapon in the state if they have a permit from their home state. Idaho recognizes concealed carry permits issued by other states, provided that those permits are valid and the issuing state has laws that are compatible with Idaho's regulations. This means that as long as a non-resident has a valid concealed carry permit that is recognized by Idaho, they are allowed to carry a concealed weapon within the state boundaries. Idaho's approach allows for flexibility and respects the rights of individuals who have completed the necessary training and application processes in their own states. It's essential for non-residents to ensure that they are fully informed of both their home state’s laws and Idaho’s requirements to avoid any legal issues when carrying a concealed weapon. The other options don't support the current regulations regarding non-residents and concealed carry in Idaho, as they either impose unnecessary restrictions or incorrectly interpret the law.
