The NRA opposed this?

Yes last year the NRA opposed it because there was a gun bill the NRA helped write already on the table that tweaked existing concealed carry (inside vs outside city limits) as well as various other thing...more regulations overall.

The Idaho NRA rep even read the opposing bill and gave testimony to the Idaho legislature. In that testimony he was asked directly about Constitutional Carry, and said the NRA would support it but knew nothing about any active pending legislation....which was an absolute lie as the NRA had already made a statement saying they opposed the Constitutional Carry bill in Idaho as it was too vague.

So yes last year the NRA opposed it. This year the NRA-ILA have been keeping tabs on it through press releases but that’s been about it.

The Constitutional Carry bill last year, and this year, were both Idaho resident grass roots efforts completely separate from the NRA.

The NRA opposed this?

Yup. The NRA runs classes here that cost $100+ for CCW. It went up the week after I took the class to $120. There were about 30 people in my class.

As always, follow the money.
