Idaho Curiosities: the story behind 99 rounds for enhanced ccw
Some of you California expats might wonder about the shooting requirement for the Enhanced CCW permit in Idaho. Interestingly, it's 98 rounds! But why??
It turns out that the original idea was to require 100 rounds of live fire. But several legislators were concerned that some ammo boxes would be one round short. Hence, the 98 round requirement was adopted. By the way, the Idaho Enhanced CCW is well worth getting. You probably won't learn anything from the live-fire part - our instructor spent most of his time teaching two students how to load and fire their revolvers. However, the classroom part is time well spent. I found the presentation by a local attorney that specializes in gun law to be invaluable. Last edited by Rotnguns; 03-05-2021 at 9:59 AM.. Reason: change # of rounds from 99 to 98 - thanks BA! |

99 rounds seems like such a waste in these times.. for most anyway.
Likely only a one time, & can carry any sidearm you'd like, for ID. I thought the Ca CCW new 20 rds/on permit firearm was bad enough. Our guy only required 10.. was grateful, an all center mass. |

I'd be good with it, as long as they let me pick up the used brass.

We've got constitutional carry for everyone (inc non res) here, but the enhanced ccw provides lots of reciprocity and allows carry in certain areas in public colleges and universities. Also, the enhanced ccw allows you to skip the NICS call when you buy a firearm here. |

The Enhanced concealed carry license allows you to carry in many areas of public colleges and universities. There's a bill under consideration to expand this to include k12. Also, there's quite a few states that reciprocate with Idaho's enhanced ccw because it includes a minimum of 8 hours of live fire and classroom time. Presenting the enhanced ccw allows you to skip the NICS check when you buy a firearm in Idaho. |

Yes, the local Sheriff. Idaho will issue its enhanced permit to non residents who have a permit from their state of residence. My original Enhanced ID permit was based on the fact that I had a CA permit. When I moved from CA to ID, it was just a change of address.

So I have to wait 60 days after moving here to get an enhanced carry permit? How do you determine the day you became a resident? Do you have to show proof with something? Doesn't a regular Idaho CWL let you skip the NICS check?

Sheriff's office determines the day you became a resident based on paperwork you bring in showing first date of residency. We used the date that title passed to us on our place at the title company. A signed rental or lease agreement works. Not sure about power bill addresses, etc. Check online or call your local sheriff's office and ask. Either CWL cancels the NICS check. Dealer verifies your ID via your CWL. 5 minutes and sometimes a discount on the transfer charge.

I guess I have a little over three more months to wait before I can get my enhanced CWL.

Yea i got my basic Idaho CWP as soon as I moved here 4 years ago, no residency time limit required. Got it in 7 days. 6 months later I upgraded it to enhanced after i took the class, and also got my Oregon non resident permit. All super easy.
