Repeals existing law relating to unorganized associations and parades.

MILITIA AND MILITARY AFFAIRS -- Repeals existing law relating to unorganized associations and parades.

MILITIA AND MILITARY AFFAIRS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This proposal is to eliminate Idaho Code Section 46-802 entirely. Currently Idaho Code Section 46-802 makes it illegal for a “body of men” to “associate together as a military company or organization” or “parade in public with firearms in any city or town of this state” unless they’re “called into service of the state.” The restrictions in this code section are antiquated and are clear violations of the First and Second Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and Article I, Sections 9, 10, and 11 of the Idaho Constitution. The proposed change will eliminate this statute entirely.
