House votes to create enhanced concealed weapon permit

The House has voted unanimously in favor of creating a new, enhanced concealed weapons permit in Idaho that would require a higher level of training than a regular permit. “Right now in the state of Idaho, we have one level of concealed weapons permits,” said Rep. Joe Palmer, R-Meridian, the bill’s sponsor. “It is the easier one to get. … Idaho kind of has a reputation for having a very simple way to get a concealed weapon.” More here. Betsy Russell, EOB

Is this a good idea?
