Idaho has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. The dealer runs the federal background check when you complete ATF Form 4473. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Idaho dealer you name at checkout.
Dealers in these communities all work for Idaho Falls-area buyers:
Idaho allows permitless concealed carry for adults 18 and over who are not prohibited, statewide since 2020, and open carry is lawful. The standard and enhanced concealed weapons licences are still issued by the Bonneville County Sheriff and add reciprocity. Courthouses, jails, schools and posted property remain off limits.
Idaho sells general-season deer tags over the counter for most units, with controlled hunts drawn in the spring and rifle seasons running through October into November. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal, and short-range weapon seasons exist near towns. Non-resident tags are capped by unit and sell out, so buy early.
Bonneville County is Snake River farmland running up into the Caribou range and the Palisades, with general-season mule deer and elk tags in most units and rifle seasons in October and November.
Mountain mule deer and elk are hunted with magnums and 6.5s here, and the Palisades country has enough bears to justify a heavy revolver on the pack.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out.
