Idaho, an open-carry state. has become the eighth state to approve permitless concealed carry.

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter Friday signed a bill to allow residents 21 years of age or older to carry concealed firearms without a permit, although training and a permit will still be required for ages 18 to 20, effective July 1, 2016. Permitless carry is already legal outside of city limits in Idaho for law-abiding individuals who are 18 and older.

The state will join Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Maine, Vermont, Wyoming and West Virginia in permitless concealed carry. Many other states are also working on similar legislation, and the list is likely to grow. Advocates of permitless carry argue that the Second Amendment is their permit—sometimes referring to it as constitutional concealed carry.

The National Rifle Association lauded the new law, congratulating the governor and legislators for this move. “This is a great day for law-abiding gun owners in Idaho,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action. “Now, the residents of Idaho can choose what method of self-defense suits them best no matter where they are in the state.”

Otter released the following statement about the bill:

“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.

“However, in considering the implications of this measure I am reminded of the plain language of the Second Amendment: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

“While S1389 is consistent with the U.S. Constitution, Idaho values and our commitment to upholding our constitutional protections from government overreach, I am concerned about its lack of any provision for education and training of individuals who choose to exercise the right to concealed carry. Such a safeguard would seem to be part of the Second Amendment’s “well-regulated” standard. What’s more, the addition of a simple training requirement in this bill could have addressed the concerns of our valued law enforcement leaders and others who cherish both the shooting culture and the safety of shooters and non-shooters alike.

“In the absence of such a provision, I encourage anyone considering concealed carry to take advantage of gun safety training opportunities available from many reputable sources throughout Idaho. I also encourage the Legislature to monitor the exercise of this new law and respond appropriately when and if the lack of statutory education and training requirement undermines public safety.”
