The Idaho House has voted 57-11 in favor of HB 301, the concealed carry bill, which reorganizes and streamlines Idaho’s concealed-weapon laws while also removing any requirement for a concealed-carry permit outside city limits; current law allows that now for anyone engaged in a lawful outdoor activity. Rep. Rick Youngblood, R-Nampa, said he opposed leaving in the elected-official exemption. “I personally call that a special privilege, one that I would not support personally,” he said. Youngblood said he’d vote in favor of the bill because of all the work that went into it, but he still objects to that part of it. “I don’t agree with any special privileges as a legislator that I might have over my constituents,” he said/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.
