Can an individual legally purchase a firearm for another person as a gift in Idaho?

Yes, with no restrictions
Yes, but the receiver must pass a background check
No, this is considered a straw purchase and is illegal
Yes, if both parties have a valid ID

The correct answer is: Yes, but the receiver must pass a background check

In Idaho, an individual can legally purchase a firearm for another person as a gift, but the receiver must pass a background check. This is because under federal law, it is considered a "straw purchase" to buy a gun for someone who is prohibited from owning one, such as a convicted felon or someone with a domestic violence restraining order. Purchasing a gun for someone else without them undergoing a background check is a felony offense. Therefore, while it is legal to purchase a firearm as a gift, it is important to ensure that the receiver can legally own a firearm. Options A and D are incorrect because they do not address the necessity of a background check. Option C is incorrect because it is not true for all cases in Idaho, as long as the proper background check measures are taken.
