“Never doubt my support of our 2nd Amendment Rights. I am the daughter of a former outfitter and guide, the mother of a hunter, the sister of a hunter, and a gun owner. I am a proud member of the National Rifle Association (with an AQ Rating).” Representative Laurie Lickley
Idaho is one of the most gun owner friendly states in the U.S. due to our steady, diligent work to strengthen our right to keep and bear arms. In fact, with last session’s passage of S1313, Stand Your Ground, one of the premier firearms magazines, Guns and Ammo, moved Idaho’s gun friendly status to number two in the nation. Unfortunately, some states are moving in the other direction. This frightens Americans who understand our Founding Fathers’ reasoning in protecting citizens’ firearm rights in the 2nd Amendment to our U.S. Constitution:
The Idaho Constitution is even more direct. Stated in our Declaration of Rights Article 1, Section 11:
RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. The people have the right to keep and bear arms, which right shall not be abridged; but this provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to govern the carrying of weapons concealed on the person nor prevent passage of legislation providing minimum sentences for crimes committed while in possession of a firearm, nor prevent the passage of legislation providing penalties for the possession of firearms by a convicted felon, nor prevent the passage of any legislation punishing the use of a firearm. No law shall impose licensure, registration or special taxation on the ownership or possession of firearms or ammunition. Nor shall any law permit the confiscation of firearms, except those actually used in the commission of a felony.
The Idaho Legislature has passed over 30 laws, with the majority of them between 2008 and 2018, to protect Idahoans’ firearm rights, and the National Rifle Association assisted with passage of all these laws. ... See more
