An Idaho legislative panel has advanced a proposal to exempt active military members from the requirement that they be Gem State residents in order to carry a concealed gun without a permit inside city limits.
The bill by Republican Representative Don Cheatham, of Post Falls, cleared the House State Affairs Committee on Thursday.
The measure was approved following a failed attempt to amend it to authorize any American citizen to carry a concealed gun inside city limits without a permit.
The original bill now heads to the full House for consideration. (Spokesman-Review)
