What is the term for carrying a concealed weapon in Idaho without the appropriate permit?

A felony
A misdemeanor
Legally permissible
Subject to a fine only

The correct answer is: A misdemeanor

Carrying a concealed weapon in Idaho without the appropriate permit is classified as a misdemeanor. This classification reflects a legal framework that typically recognizes the act as a less serious offense compared to a felony, which carries more severe consequences. In Idaho, the laws are designed to ensure that individuals who wish to carry concealed weapons obtain the necessary permits through proper training and background checks. This approach emphasizes the importance of responsible gun ownership and safety while still acknowledging that violations related to not having a permit, though unlawful, do not rise to the level of felonies, which involve more serious crimes or dangers to public safety. Therefore, a misdemeanor designation allows for legal enforcement while promoting educational and safety-focused pathways for responsible firearm use.
