Idaho Case Law:
– “The right to bear arms may not be denied by the
legislature; it only has the power to ‘regulate the
exercise of this right’; that is, among other things, it
may prohibit carrying concealed weapons, or prescribe the
kind or character of arms that may or may not be kept,
carried, or used, and various other things of a regulatory
character.” (1937)
– “The right to prohibit carrying of concealed weapons falls
within the police power of a municipality and an ordinance
enforcing same is constitutional.” (1945)
– “Instruction [to jury] as to right to bear arms not in
harmony with this section was properly refused.” (1932)
