Idaho Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Does Idaho have a red flag law that allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others?

1. Yes, it has been in effect since 2018

2. No, Idaho does not have such a law

3. Yes, but only for family members to petition

4. No, but legislation is pending

The correct answer is: No, Idaho does not have such a law

While many states have implemented red flag laws to address gun violence and mental health concerns, Idaho does not currently have such a law in place. This means that courts in Idaho do not have the authority to remove firearms from individuals who may pose a threat to themselves or others. It is important to note that while legislation may be pending for a red flag law in Idaho, as of now, it is not in effect. Options A, C, and D are all incorrect because they suggest that Idaho already has a red flag law in place or that there is some kind of limited version of the law.
