Is it legal for a convicted felon to possess a firearm in Idaho?

Yes, without restrictions
No
Yes, but only after a certain number of years
Yes, if the conviction was non-violent

The correct answer is: No

In Idaho, a convicted felon is generally prohibited from possessing firearms. This prohibition stems from both federal and state laws that restrict firearm ownership for individuals who have been convicted of certain crimes, primarily felonies. While some states allow for the restoration of gun rights after a certain period or under specific conditions, Idaho maintains a strict stance on this matter. In most cases, a felon must go through a legal process to have their rights restored, which is not guaranteed and can be complex. This ensures the safety and security of the public by restricting firearm access to individuals with significant criminal histories. The other choices suggest varying conditions under which a felon might possess a firearm, but none align with the current legal framework in Idaho, where the overarching rule is that a convicted felon cannot legally own or possess firearms unless their rights are explicitly restored through the appropriate legal channels.
