Which of the following is NOT a prohibited person under Idaho law?

A convicted felon
A person dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces
A person who has never been convicted of a misdemeanor
A person adjudicated as mentally incompetent

The correct answer is: A person who has never been convicted of a misdemeanor

In Idaho law, a "prohibited person" refers to individuals who are not allowed to possess firearms due to certain legal criteria. A person who has never been convicted of a misdemeanor falls outside these prohibitions because there are no significant legal restrictions imposed on firearm possession for individuals without misdemeanor or felony convictions. Conversely, individuals who have been convicted of a felony, dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces, or adjudicated as mentally incompetent are clearly identified as prohibited persons. These laws are in place to mitigate potential risks associated with individuals who may pose a danger to themselves or others. Firearm regulations vary widely, but in this case, the absence of any legal issues concerning a person who has no misdemeanor convictions supports their eligibility to possess firearms under Idaho law.
