Idaho CCW Reciprocity

Idaho is a permitless-carry state (minimum age 18). With a Idaho permit you can carry in 33 states: 7 honor the permit and 26 require no permit at all. Every answer below comes from the visiting state's own authority — the state that actually decides — with conditions shown word for word and unverified pairs marked honestly.

Idaho's permitless carry is limited to U.S. citizens and current members of the armed forces, so a non-citizen visitor cannot rely on it (Idaho Code 18-3302(4)(f)). A standard Idaho license requires 21, but sheriffs may issue a distinguishable license to 18–20-year-olds (18-3302(20)).
