Hey Everyone,
I have been reading this site for the past few months while I patiently awaited my 18th birthday. Well, that was the 12th of July, so I am ready to begin open carrying when I acquire an XD-9. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am aloud to own and open carry a handgun at the age of 18.
I decided to go down the county sheriffs office today to see what their interpretation of the Idaho Code was for an 18 year old open carrying and owning a handgun. I was told that I had to be 21 to buy a handgun or acquire one even through a private party. Then they backtracked and said that I could get one transferedto me from my father, but I couldn't carry it.
Now that I have heard this from the county I will be open carrying in for a period of time, I'm very uneasy. How do you guys think that I should handle this situation. Should I just go for it and open carry because I know it is legal? Is there anyway I could get like a clarification letter from the Attorney General that I could show to the county sheriff's office so that the deputies would know the laws? I would appreciate anyones suggestions.
