The House has suspended its rules and taken up SB 1389, the bill to allow Idaho residents age 21 or older to carry concealed guns without a permit inside city limits. After debate on both sides, the bill passed, 54-15. It’s already passed the Senate, so the measure now goes to the governor’s desk. The measure “does provide an additional element of freedom, if you will, with regard to being able to carry a concealed weapon without a license,” said Rep. Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, the bill’s House sponsor. He said he believes the bill affirms Idaho’s support for gun rights under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.
