Constitutional Carry Could Pass Soon in This State Boise, Idaho saw strong support from Second Amendment supporters recently, rallying for House Bill 422 to pass. If passed, HB 422 would end permit requirements in Idaho, and allow its citizens to carry a concealed firearm without having to obtain a carry permit.
Idaho House Speaker Bedke says, “There’s a strong majority of Idahoans and legislators who believe that citizens have a right to protect themselves. In the wake of these mass shootings, I think that gets elevated.”
Bonner County Sheriff, Daryl Wheeler links the state’s bill with the Constitution, observing, “The Constitutional Carry Bill would align Idaho Law with the true meaning of the Second Amendment. This Bill will not change Law Enforcement Tactics. Also, it is well known that most persons who commit criminal acts do not follow the permitting rules anyway.”
Madison County Sheriff, Roy C. Klingler agrees, saying, “The Second Amendment affords law abiding citizens the right to protect themselves and their families. Constitutional Carry is common sense legislation that will help do away with unnecessary regulation that hinders the Second Amendment’s true meaning.”
With such strong support from citizens and law enforcement, it would seem that Idaho is well on its way to becoming the 9th state in the US to allow for Constitutional-style carry.
