Is a permit required for the concealed carry of firearms in Idaho for persons over 21 years old?

Yes, in all cases
No
Yes, but only in city limits
Yes, but there are exceptions for certain individuals

The correct answer is: No

In Idaho, individuals who are over 21 years old are not required to obtain a permit to carry a concealed firearm. This law reflects the state's approach to firearms regulations, which allows for permitless carry for adults in this age group. Idaho has enacted what is commonly referred to as "constitutional carry," meaning that individuals can legally carry concealed without a permit, as long as they are not prohibited from possessing a firearm. While some states require permits and background checks, Idaho's law simplifies the process for law-abiding citizens who wish to exercise their right to keep and bear arms without the bureaucratic hurdles of obtaining a permit. The other answer choices refer to circumstances that are not in line with Idaho’s current laws. For example, requiring a permit in all cases or only within city limits does not align with the state's allowance for permitless carry for those over 21. Similarly, while there are specific regulations that may apply to certain groups or situations, the general rule for individuals over 21 is that no permit is needed for concealed carry.
