Under Idaho law, which of the following firearms does not require a background check for private sales?

Handguns
Shotguns
Rifles
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

In Idaho, private sales of firearms do not require a background check for a variety of firearm types, including handguns, shotguns, and rifles. This legal framework means that if a firearm is being sold between private individuals without involving a licensed dealer, a background check is not mandated regardless of the type of firearm. This absence of a requirement for a background check in private sales is rooted in Idaho's gun laws, which prioritize personal privacy in transactions between private individuals. Nevertheless, it is always encouraged that buyers and sellers consider the importance of ensuring that transactions are responsible and that firearms are not passed to individuals prohibited from owning them. This understanding of the law emphasizes a broader principle found within Idaho’s approach to firearms and ownership, where individual rights to purchase and own firearms in private contexts are generally upheld with limited restrictions.
