Can law enforcement officers carry concealed weapons in Idaho without a permit?

  1. Yes, but only on duty

  2. Yes, both on and off duty

  3. No, they must have a permit at all times

  4. Only if they have an enhanced permit

The correct answer is: Yes, both on and off duty

In Idaho, law enforcement officers, as part of their official duties, are allowed to carry concealed weapons without a permit, both while on duty and off duty. This is in recognition of their role in maintaining public safety and the unique requirements of their profession. The law grants law enforcement officials certain privileges that are not available to the general public, acknowledging their training and experience with firearms. This includes the ability to carry concealed weapons without the need for additional permits, which enhances their ability to respond to incidents effectively. Other statements might suggest limitations based on whether they are on or off duty, or imply that permits are required for concealed carry, but these do not align with the provisions that specifically cater to law enforcement personnel in Idaho.
