First of all, I was talking about activities other than hunting, fishing, etc.
But, now there is that great statement known as "lawful outdoor activity."
Reminds me a lot of the "lawful carrying of firearms" statement under US Code Title 18; § 930 (3)
Someone really needs to define “lawful” in regard to both of these statements.
Mr. Norris, please accept my apology. I did not realize that the Idaho State AG's website was incorrect. When I am personally asked about carrying a concealed or an open weapon in another State, I tell the person(s) to view the AG's website or contact the State Police for that particular State. Believe it or not, I am asked that question quite a bit.
I do know the laws in the State I work in, since it is my job to know what the laws are in regard to the carrying of a weapon on Federal lands, and since we follow State Laws, I need to know what those laws are. However, I do not make it a job to learn all the different laws for all the other 49 States in regard to carrying a handgun (or other weapons).
Now, it appears, at least for the State of Idaho, the AG's website is incorrect, and cannot be trusted. I base that on the fact if one statement on the AG's website is incorrect, then who knows how many other statements on that website are incorrect. So, if asked about Idaho, I guess I won't make any more statements about visiting a website that has incorrect information posted. Which, I will add is good to know. Do not want someone to get into trouble due to my suggestion to view a website that is incorrect.
"I don't "think" I'm correct in my interpretation, I know."
So, if I understand correctly, if a person is carrying a weapon under their coat while walking down a country lane, and the wind blows open their coat and an officer of the law sees the handgun, then the coat covers it back up, and the person does not have a concealed weapons permit issued by Idaho or issued by a State that Idaho recognizes, they are not committing a crime. It is considered a 'lawful activity" and no permit is required.
To be honest, I am really glad I do not have to worry about these state laws when traveling. And don’t have to worry about Idaho since the campgrounds I want to visit don’t like my dog.
