Is open carry of firearms legal in Idaho?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. No

  3. Only with a concealed weapons permit

  4. Only outside city limits

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

In Idaho, open carry of firearms is indeed legal without the need for a permit. This means that individuals can carry their firearms visibly in public spaces without any regulatory restrictions requiring permits or licenses. The law supports the individual’s right to openly bear arms as part of the Second Amendment rights. While there are considerations regarding where one can carry openly, such as certain government buildings or private properties that prohibit firearms, the general principle remains that open carry is permitted statewide without needing a concealed weapons permit. This understanding reflects Idaho's approach to personal freedoms concerning gun ownership and usage.
