Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding resistance by a threatened party.

The purpose of this legislation is to amend Section 19-202, Idaho Code, relating to Resistance to a Threatened Party that will specifically allow a threatened person to remove their defensive weapon from it's holster or other container in defensive situations should the need arise. The current wording in the statute relies on a broad interpretation of the words "Exposing, Displaying..." and it will remove the ambiguity of the current wording.
