Idaho Becomes Ninth Constitutional Carry State

Idaho Becomes Ninth Constitutional Carry State

Permitless concealed carry signed into law

BY: Stephen Gutowski

Idaho legalized the carry of a concealed firearm without a permit on Friday.

Republican Gov. Butch Otter signed SB 1389 into law after it passed both the House and Senate with large majorities. The law allows everyone who is a resident of Idaho, is 21 years of age or older, and legally allowed to posses a firearm, to carry a firearm concealed on their person without obtaining a permit first.

The move makes Idaho the ninth state, following on the heels of West Virginia, to adopt a permitless framework, commonly referred to as “constitutional carry.” The trend of states moving to constitutional carry laws has accelerated sharply since 2003, when only Vermont had such a system.

The most restrictive standard, employed by only eight states, is often called “may-issue” and gives government officials ultimate discretion over who can obtain a license.

Constitutional carry is now more popular than the “shall issue” framework for the first time in the history of the United States.
