Another state weighs in on the side of gun owners in the heated debate over the Second Amendment in general and concealed carry in particular.
As part of the left’s larger push against guns, they have worked tirelessly to deny Americans the right to carry concealed firearms on their person. This has led several states to pass legislation granting citizens of legal age to apply for permits to carry weapons in such a manner, with Idaho being the latest to join this larger trend.
Signing Senate Bill 1389, Governor Butch Otter has enshrined concealed carry into law. In fact, he went even one step further than most concealed carry legislation currently in effect, cutting out the permit process and letting the Constitution itself serve as Idahoan’s permits. However, the process will remain in place for citizens who wish be concealed carry compliant in other states.

The bill’s passage will almost certainly come as a relief to gun owners. Prior to it being signed into law, firearms rights supporters were concerned that people could be prosecuted if a piece of their clothes so much as blew over their weapons in public. Thankfully however, the introduction of permitless concealed carry renders this scenario unlikely:
“According to KTVB, Governor Otter released a letter on March 25 which said, ‘I’m a gun owner, a hunter and a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. I have consistently championed our citizens’ gun rights throughout my years in public office, and I do so again today in signing Senate Bill 1389 into law.’ He also used the letter to stress his conviction that SB 1389 ‘is consistent with the U.S. Constitution,’ and encouraged those who will carry without a permit to be sure they are trained in the proper use of firearms.
Idaho now joins Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Maine, Montana, Vermont, Wyoming, and West Virginia in allowing open carry or concealed carry without a permit.
The law abolishing the need for a concealed carry permit goes into effect in Idaho on July 1, 2016.”

And that is exactly when we need to double down on our determination to NOT give him what he wants !! An open door for the Sewer Rat muslims to waltz in and take over just like they are doing in Europe !!!
NeverTrump.com . He’s a Democrat who was planted by the Democrat party to destroy the Republican party. You can tell there is something wrong with him just listening to him talk
Vote Cruz for president if you love the constitution
Why do you suppose it is that the second amendment to the constitution is the only one they think they have the right to make us have a permit to exercise and why a “usually” ballsy state like Texas kerrs up like a whooped dog and refuses to stand up and say plainly, “THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS OUR CARRY PERMIT, BE IT, OPEN OR CONCEALED MATTERS NOT IN THE LEAST!” IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE ALL OVERLOOKED AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH. THAT READS, “ANY LAW CREATED THAT STANDS IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE AMENDMENTS HEREIN, SHALL BE DEEMED ILLEGAL AND NULL AND VOID UPON ITS INCEPTION
