Is a New York Non-Resident Permit Valid in Idaho?

Recognized — and permitless carry appliesVerified 2026-08-08

Your New York non-resident permit is valid in Idaho. The state also has permitless carry for adults 18+, so the permit mainly buys you reciprocity certainty and some federal school-zone protection.

Why

Idaho AG: out-of-state concealed weapons licenses are recognized ('Yes'), with the condition that 'while in Idaho, you must carry the license on your person at all times when carrying a concealed weapon' (Idaho Code 18-3302(5)(g)). No residency or permit-type restriction is stated; permitless carry independently covers US-citizen visitors 18+.
