The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Idaho, the legal requirement to apply for a concealed carry permit is that an individual must be at least 21 years old. This age requirement is in alignment with federal laws regarding firearms and reflects the state's emphasis on ensuring that individuals who carry concealed weapons have reached a level of maturity and responsibility expected at that age. While individuals can possess firearms at 18, the ability to carry them concealed is restricted to those who are 21 and older. This age restriction is in place to promote responsible gun ownership and enhance public safety.
