Idaho 2nd Amendment Alliance
The Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls is an explicitly gun‑free zone. The MAC bans firearms at all events, unlike some venues that only impose restrictions during specific shows. Every attendee goes through a metal detector, and anyone who sets it off may be wanded by security. Concerts, rodeos, and Idaho Falls Spud Kings hockey […]
Terri Pickens, the Democrat candidate for governor of Idaho, wants gun owners to believe she is solidly pro-Second Amendment. But before Idaho gun owners accept that claim at face value, they should take a much closer look at what Pickens has actually said, what she hasn’t said, who she has worked with, and who has […]
Kaylee Peterson (D), who is challenging current Idaho Congressman Russ Fulcher (R) for the 1st Congressional District for the third time, has made her position on several gun-control policies clear. Among the policies Peterson has supported are firearm registration, so-called “assault weapons” bans, and limits on magazine capacity. More recently, Peterson also received an F […]
The Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls is loudly advertising its anti‑gun stance. One of the main entrances features a massive “No Weapons” sign, easily as large, if not larger, than the anti‑gun signage we’ve seen from St. Luke’s. Speedway staff allegedly do not wand patrons entering the facility. If that’s true, then what’s the […]
The Veterans Affairs Hospital is different from most locations listed on the Idaho Anti‑Gun Accountability Center because it’s governed by federal law, not state policy. Under 18 U.S.C. § 930, possession of a firearm in a federal facility is a crime. Unlike most anti‑gun signs in Idaho, which carry no weight of law, the VA Hospital […]
We’ve already documented several Saint Luke’s facilities across Idaho that post oversized anti‑gun signs at their entrances, and the Nampa locations are no different. At the main entrance, there are no metal detectors, yet the same large “no weapons” signs appear throughout the St. Luke’s system. Despite the lack of actual screening, security guards are […]
Idaho Second Amendment Alliance President Greg Pruett sat down with State Representative Clint Hostetler (R–Twin Falls) for a wide‑ranging conversation covering guns, the Twin Falls In‑N‑Out tragedy, abortion, and several other issues Idahoans are watching closely. Hostetler is running for re‑election this November, seeking a second term in the Idaho House. He is widely regarded […]
Saint Alphonsus in Nampa is being added to the Idaho Anti‑Gun Accountability Center. Like most hospitals in Idaho, St. Al’s posts a “no weapons” policy and signage. Criminals aren’t going to follow these signs, but law‑abiding citizens are the ones pressured to disarm. And that raises real questions. If a patient or visitor is harmed […]
The Village at Meridian is one of the largest shopping complexes in Idaho, sitting at one of the busiest intersections in the state and home to Idaho’s first In‑N‑Out. It’s a massive draw for Treasure Valley families, and it comes with a massive gun ban. The Village prohibits both open and concealed carry across the […]
West Valley Medical Center in Caldwell has the same anti‑gun signage we’ve seen at every Idaho hospital so far, “No Weapons” posted at each public entrance. As always, we’re supposed to believe criminals will read a small sign and suddenly abandon their plans. This is the only full hospital in Idaho operated by HCA Healthcare, […]
