On July 1st of this year, Idaho will officially become the eighth state to waive government mandated permitting and fees in recognizing a law abiding adult’s ability to posses a concealed handgun for self defense.

SB 1389 will positively affect law-abiding gun owners in the following ways:

  • ​SB 1389 ensures that the existing and long-standing concealed weapon license (CWL) exemption applicable “outside the limits or confines of any city” only protects the rights of law-abiding individuals.
  • ​SB 1389 exempts law-abiding Idahoans, who are twenty-one years of age or older, from having to obtain a CWL in order to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense within city limits.
  • ​SB 1389 provides a mechanism for well-trained, law-abiding individuals who are eighteen years of age or older to obtain a CWL.
