Idaho is not the safe haven for gun owners that you thought it was.
If you just arrived here from communist California, Washington, or Oregon, thinking the 2nd Amendment was respected here, you were wrong.
There are several silver-linings in this decision, and we’ll get to those in a moment.
Idaho has had a firearm preemption statute for over a decade now. The statute prohibits cities and counties from banning firearms on public property.
The whole purpose of the law is to ensure that gun owners can exercise their 2nd Amendment rights in public, and that the law remains uniform throughout the state.
However, that all changed with today’s Idaho Supreme Court decision. We can no longer tell you in good faith where you can and can’t carry, because we have no idea who has “leased” public property, permanent or temporarily, to a private party.
Idaho’s firearm preemption law is essentially null and void.
Nothing will stop Mayor McLean in Boise from “leasing” all of the city’s public parks to a private organization to run.
That private organization can then ban firearms throughout the city.
What is to stop your county fair from “leasing” the fairgrounds to a private party, who can then ban firearms? Nothing!
What if the county fairgrounds’ officials hire private security to run the entrances of the fairgrounds? What if the entrances are “leased”?
According to the Idaho Supreme Court, they can ban your firearms on public property because it isn’t the county doing it, it’s the “private” security firm.
We can’t in good faith tell you right now whether you can or can’t carry at any public place in Idaho because we have no idea who has a lease to a private organization and who doesn’t, or for how long those leases are for.
Carrying a firearm on public property in Idaho is now done at your own peril.

The Idaho Supreme Court has opened Pandora’s box in favor of the gun-grabbing radical left. They have taken one of Idaho’s most critical and cherished rights and thrown it out the window.
So, what does this mean for Idahoans?
- First, we hope that you are now concerned with who is on the Idaho Supreme Court because it obviously matters. We have to pay attention to who is running to uphold our laws at the highest level, and this case should be the catalyst for you getting involved.
- Second, Idaho’s justices are ELECTED. That means that at some point each of them will have to run for their position again. Gun owners will get to decide if this anti-gun decision by Idaho’s highest court is meaningful at election time or not.
- Finally, this means gun owners have a massive and urgent fight to do at the next Idaho legislative session.
Idaho’s firearm preemption law is gone, and it’s up to gun owners to demand that the state legislature fix the mess the Idaho Supreme Court has left with its awful decision.
Some gun owners had asked why we took this case all the way to the ISC, and the three reasons above are the reasons I stated all along.
There is always a risk that you lose in court, especially when Idahoans haven’t really cared about who is running for the ISC.
We have now exposed exactly who the justices are when it comes to the 2nd Amendment.
But, we also know that had we tried additional cases based on what we felt was a great firearm preemption law, we would have lost many more cases.
Now, with the ISC’s anti-gun decision in full force, we can go back to the drawing board with the legislature to get this fixed immediately.
I would argue that an emergency session would be in order given all of the events that are taking place in the next few weeks.
This decision could cause absolute chaos across Idaho this summer. Gun owners should seek legal advice if you are told that you can’t carry at an event on public property because right now, the ISAA has no answers for you.
And even more surprising in this decision by the ISC, is that not one justice dissented and stood up for gun owners.
None.
