There is currently an attempt to eliminate the Concealed Weapons License here in idaho.
The biggest proponant of this amendment are the LEO's and their law enforcement groups.
If the LEO's don't want people carrying without manditory training and permitting, it's going to be very difficult to see that ever happen.
My permit is attached to my DL. It makes it very easy for them to connect my DL to my vehicle. I was pulled over recently, and the first question after the LEO the radio call and came up to my window was, "Do you have a loaded weapon in the car?"
Untill I had my CWL I was never asked that question.
In the past year I've been pulled over 3 times for different reasons and I always get asked that question now. Coincidence? I don't think so. I was carrying on all 3 occasions. Never hassled about carrying, they just wanted to know, where I had it in the vehicle and they all asked me why I was carrying. My answers were based on the immediate reason that I was carrying, not that I carry because I'm allowed to do so.
