Who is eligible to apply for a concealed weapons permit in Idaho?

  1. Residents only

  2. U.S. citizens who are residents of Idaho

  3. Any U.S. citizen

  4. Residents of Idaho who are over 21 years old

The correct answer is: Residents of Idaho who are over 21 years old

The eligibility to apply for a concealed weapons permit in Idaho requires that the individual is a resident of Idaho and must be at least 21 years old. This ensures that those applying for the permit have established residency and have reached the legal age considered to be responsible for carrying a concealed firearm. This age restriction aligns with the state laws that govern the carrying of concealed weapons, emphasizing the importance of maturity and responsibility in handling firearms. The options that suggest eligibility based solely on residency or citizenship do not account for the necessary age requirement that is a fundamental aspect of the law. Being a U.S. citizen, while relevant, does not exempt individuals from needing to be Idaho residents and meeting the age criterion. Thus, the chosen answer reflects the combined requirements of residency and age that are essential for obtaining a concealed weapons permit in Idaho.
