Hello everyone
I will be visiting Idaho end of this month and have questions regarding open carry. I will be visiting from California and as some of you may be aware, it is now illegal to open carry here as of the first of this year. The laws here really suck when it comes to one just trying to be able to protect himself or family. Anyways my google-fu doesnt seem to be working so I want to ask here without having to sift throught pages of stuff to find my answers. Can I open carry in general. What I mean by this is just your everyday carry. I plan to walk around doing your everyday shopping visiting old friends or what have you. I dont plan to open carry in or near any schools if it can be helped not to. I plan to carry on my right hip openly in plain view.
Now my next question is how do LEO's up that way tend to treat everyone who open carrys? How would they treat an out of towner? I have open carried many times here before it was banned and had encounters with the police...some good some bad. Can I open carry loaded or unloaded? Again I am only visiting for a short two weeks and just want some insight but arriving.
Thanks for your time folks and any answers would help.
God bless and carry on...
