Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding prohibited conduct.
CONCEALED WEAPONS -- Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding prohibited conduct.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The primary objective of this legislation is to safeguard the Second Amendment rights of Idaho’s citizens. Presently, our preemption law prohibits local governments from establishing more stringent regulations regarding the carrying of firearms in public facilities. Additionally, our laws prohibit the carrying of firearms within courtrooms and courthouses. However, the recent development of county courthouses being created within county offices has resulted in confusion regarding the permissible locations for firearm carrying. This legislation clarifies that in such instances, prohibiting individuals from carrying firearms within a courtroom will be allowed. Nevertheless, our citizens should be permitted to carry firearms when entering city or county buildings for other purposes.
