Can someone convicted of a felony possess a firearm in Idaho?

Yes, immediately after serving time
No, never
Yes, but only after a certain period and with a court’s approval
Yes, if the conviction is expunged

The correct answer is: Yes, but only after a certain period and with a court’s approval

In Idaho, individuals convicted of a felony cannot possess a firearm immediately upon serving their time. However, there are provisions that allow a felon to regain their firearm rights after a specific period and with court approval. This reflects the legal process in Idaho where individuals who have completed their sentence, including any parole or probation, may petition the court to restore their rights. In contrast, the other options do not accurately represent Idaho law. Individuals convicted of a felony do not automatically regain their rights after serving their time, nor does an expungement guarantee firearm possession without following the proper legal process. Thus, option C best captures the law as it pertains to felons and firearm possession in Idaho.
