Idaho Becomes Ninth Constitutional Carry State
Permitless concealed carry signed into law
BY: Stephen Gutowski
Idaho legalized the carry of a concealed firearm without a permit on Friday.
Republican Gov. Butch Otter signed SB 1389 into law after it passed both the House and Senate with large majorities. The law allows everyone who is a resident of Idaho, is 21 years of age or older, and legally allowed to posses a firearm, to carry a firearm concealed on their person without obtaining a permit first.
The move makes Idaho the ninth state, following on the heels of West Virginia, to adopt a permitless framework, commonly referred to as constitutional carry. The trend of states moving to constitutional carry laws has accelerated sharply since 2003, when only Vermont had such a system.
The most restrictive standard, employed by only eight states, is often called may-issue and gives government officials ultimate discretion over who can obtain a license.
Constitutional carry is now more popular than the shall issue framework for the first time in the history of the United States.

More of that backlash we've been told to expect?
