Re: Which States Allow Open Carry

More | Report Post

Idaho in fact allows open carry in your vehicle, on your person,
etc. as long as you don't conceal it. Concealed weapons permits
are easily obtainable here. If your record is clean of course.
You simply need to take proof of firearms training, such as a
hunting permit from any state, a gun safety class, a police
training cert., etc. to your local sheriff's office. Pay a fee
and they conduct a background check, if you have no violent
crimes you will get your CCW license in 6 to 8 weeks.
