Question 1

Idaho’s firearm preemption law currently prohibits cities from regulating firearms at the city level. Some states, like Washington, are removing their preemption law, allowing cities to regulate firearms more.

Do you support Idaho’s firearm preemption law, which prohibits cities from enacting their own gun control ordinances?

Question 2

Some states have enacted “Red Flag” laws that allow courts to confiscate firearms from individuals who haven’t been charged or convicted of a crime. These orders often last a year or more and are issued without the individual’s knowledge or opportunity to respond prior to the firearms being taken.

Do you support or oppose Red Flag laws?

Question 3

Some states and cities have banned commonly owned firearms—such as semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns—often labeling them “assault weapons.” These bans affect standard firearms used by millions of law-abiding Americans.

Do you support or oppose banning certain types of semi-automatic firearms in Idaho?

Idaho is one of 29 states with “Constitutional Carry,” allowing law-abiding Americans 18 and older to carry firearms—concealed or openly—without a permit.

Do you support or oppose Idaho’s Constitutional Carry law?

Question 5

Idaho’s “Stand Your Ground” law allows individuals to defend themselves without a duty to retreat when faced with imminent danger.
