In Idaho, the issue of carrying a firearm without a CCW is it must be unloaded unless it is in full view. It can be in a locked or unlocked case, in the trunk, in the glove box. A hunting license does not change much since it is illegal to hunt from a road or motor vehicle.
Being unloaded usually means the ammo is in a separate place but the state site only says; A firearm may be concealed legally in a motor vehicle so long as the weapon is disassembled or unloaded.
It can be carried openly but must not be brandished. Brandishing is subject to interpretation. Usually it means displaying the gun in a threatening or other offensive manner. It could be interpreted as just pointing to your gun. This is where the attitude of the person with the gun is most important. If there is a threat, brandishing would be acceptable. Just know that you need to justify the brandishing.
There is a saying; "I'd rather be tried by twelve than carried by six."
There is a anecdote of an older woman who was accosted by a mugger with a knife demanding her money. Her response, as she drew her pistol from her purse, was " Hasn't anybody every told you to never bring a knife to a gun fight?"
This is the ONLY type of gun a crinimal should be allowed to have.lol
Idaho gun laws....
It is unlawful for a child under 12 to have in his or her possession any shotgun, rifle, or other firearm while in the fields or forests or in any tent, camp, auto, or any other vehicle except for the holder of a youth small game license or youth hunter education graduate license may possess a firearm for hunting while in the fields or forests, if accompanied by an adult licensed to hunt in the state of Idaho.
Carrying
Except in the person’s place of abode or fixed place
of business or on property In which the person has any ownership or
leasehold Interest, a person shall not carry a concealed weapon without
a license to carry a concealed weapon.
For the purposes of this section, a concealed weapon means any dirk, dirk knife, bowie knife, dagger, pistol, revolver, or any other deadly or dangerous weapon. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any lawfully possessed shotgun or rifle.
While in any motor vehicle, inside the limits or confines of any city, a person shall not carry a concealed weapon on or about his person without a license to carry a concealed weapon. This shall not apply to any pistol or revolver located in plain view whether it is loaded or unloaded. A firearm may be concealed legally in a motor vehicle so long as the weapon is disassembled or unloaded.
"Upon or about ones person" has been defined by the Idaho courts as encompassing the physical carrying of the weapon in clothing or handbags as well as going about with the weapon in close proximity and readily accessible for prompt use. The test for concealment is whether the weapon is carried so as not to be discernible by ordinary observation.
The county sheriff issues concealed carry permits. The sheriff must issue the permit within ninety days of the filing of an application by a person, over 21, who is not disqualified from possessing or receiving a firearm under state or federal law.
There are some gaps in the statutes between what is directly permitted and what is directly restricted. Common law theory says that unless something is prohibited, it is allowed.
The "hunting license and engaged in hunting" statement is a redundant statement. It does not add to or subtract from the gun carry laws.
I think it is just a statement in the hunting manual to advice hunters of the regulations for carrying a firearm. Sometimes, the authors tend to over state their case.
These laws are deliberately written in ways that they may be POLITICALLY used against citizens, INCLUDING those citizens like myself and others who are home/business owners and are NOT criminals.
The
accept the translation of your chosen religion...
These laws are the Judges Bible, and he is right as long as he is doing
the translating....
One young man here; enjoyed an early morning hunt...when it became
apparent he was going to be late for school. He simply unloaded his
fire arm and set it in the trunk of his car....On top of his book bag...
A teacher spotted the fire arm when the young man got his book bag
from under the weapon...The school was in lock down the rest of the
day and his weapon was LOST..I don't blame the teacher, the young
man should have taken the weapon home and accepted the tardy..
The law is not wrong as it protects our Youth...But, to me the whole
scenario is bug house..In protecting others we have gone to far the other
way...All things are open to interpretation...by someone with more autority
than the "offender!"
Bottom line here is, If you are Trained in and know how to use a gun Properly it should not be against the Law! That is what out Forefather's Intended!
