Title: Idaho pistol rules
Post by: adamR on November 14, 2018, 05:27:33 PM: Can someone provide me with the rules in Idaho as far as carrying a pistol while hiking and /or open carrying a pistol while hiking. I'm going along with another Hunter this weekend who will be bowhunting and I will not be hunting but I'm curious if I'm allowed to carry my glock even though I don't have any kind of permit for Idaho. Also, whats the rules for concealed carry while not recreating.

I think you have to be a resident of Idaho for above to apply. :dunno:

Idaho permits the open carrying of firearms. Effective July 1, 2016, state law allows any Idaho resident to carry a concealed handgun without a license to carry, provided the person is over 21 years old and not disqualified from being issued a license to carry concealed weapons under state law.

After reading it further looks like it allows non residents to carry also.
I think you are good to go.
