At what age can a person legally purchase a shotgun or rifle in Idaho?

  1. 16 years old

  2. 18 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. There is no age restriction

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Idaho, a person can legally purchase a shotgun or rifle at the age of 18. This aligns with federal laws as well, which set the minimum age for purchasing long guns, including shotguns and rifles, at 18 years old. This age requirement is established to ensure that individuals have reached a certain level of maturity and responsibility before being allowed to acquire such firearms. While some states may have their own specific regulations that vary from this age requirement, Idaho follows the guideline that a person must be at least 18 years of age to legally buy a shotgun or rifle.
