I got this from the Idaho section of the forum, from user: "CarryTheTruth".
This bill adds a new area, not*section, but area, as Idaho Code §18-3302K
The Enhanced Concealed Weapons License (ECWL) requires additional training as follows:
- a total of 8 hours
- 4 hours is in-person, face-to-face "lecture/instruction";
- 1.5 to 2 hours of this needs to be conducted by an Idaho State Bar lawyer or Police Officer achieving intermediate POST training
- 4 hours of "live-fire" training with a minimum of 98 rounds (how they came up with that number …?!)
The purpose of the ECWL is to increase firearm training requirements to then enable the expansion of acceptance of Idaho's new ECWL to establish new Conceal Carry Reciprocity Agreements Idaho has with 25 states to upward of 40 or more states, including Washington and Nevada. Sadly, Oregon is, well, being liberally stingy.
