Guide to Interstate Transport of Firearms (NRA)
The following is a citizen's guide to legal transportation of personally-owned firearms for hunting, competitive shooting, vacationing, and changing residence between states. This National Rifle Association guide does not cover the lawful carriage of concealed firearms.
Federal law does not restrict individuals (except convicted felons, persons under indictment for felonies, mental defectives or incompetents, illegal users of controlled drugs, illegal aliens, veterans dishonorably discharged, those who have renounced their U.S. citizenship, fugitives from justice, persons convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, and persons subject to domestic violence restraining orders) from transporting firearms across state lines. Thus, there is no federal interstate transportation permit for firearms.
Many states have laws governing the transportation of firearms. Also, many cities and localities have ordinances restricting their transportation. Travelers must be aware of these laws and comply with the legal requirements in each jurisdiction. There is no uniform state transportation procedure for firearms.
Idaho does not have special rules about the interstate transport of firearms. Click here to see the states that do.
