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.”

Hillary, “progressive” for 8 months. Bernie, progressive for 50 years… Do you really know the candidates?? Seriously now… maybe why you never hear Bernie saying he “needed to evolve” with “learning moments” yuh think??
Bernie has foresight and good judgment in the beginning, when it matters. Hillary blows BEHIND the social / political winds. She then apologizes later to make everything all better. She is a centrist with bad judgment. Nothing more. We expect the leader of the free world to have Bernie’s judgment and character. Life long champion of the people.
Hillary’s judgment errors: TPP, Iraq, $15 hr. – thank you California! Literally passing by Hillary’s poor judgment (no, not $12 hr. Hillary), Libya, Patriot act, Afghanistan, DOMA/Gay rights, Syria, Keystone pipeline, War on drugs, Carbon Tax, No Child left behind, Bank Bailouts, Campaign finance/citizens united (has pacs and superpacs now!), NAFTA (said it was a bad idea), Crime Bill (apologized for ‘superpredator’ gaffe, crack-cocaine sentencing disparity), welfare reform bill (apologized for), Banking reform (wants to make it more expensive for traditional banks to be big, shadow banking reform only), Wall street reform (has nothing here yet, a future flip flop), death penalty (still confused on this one and will come to Bernie’s stance soon), fracking (also still confused, will move to Bernie’s stance), Immigration (voted to kill the bill after backing it initially)….. regarding the TPP, she will again be for it once elected. Why? Corporations wrote and enforce the TPP terms. Corporations write her platform…. Compare. Decide. Vote.
Boy, what a good idea!! I think I’lll call gov. Hickenlooper and Rep Dickie Lee Hullinghorst here in Colorado and ask them to do the same thing!! (You have to know these 2 to get the joke)
Great.

Idaho is NOT the example you want to use for following the constitution. They don’t even follow their state constitution.
