COEUR d’ALENE — The increasingly popular idea of a constitutional carry gun right in Idaho might not be everything it's cracked up to be.

“I’m not opposed to constitutional carry,” Dwight Van Horn, one of the NRA's 76 directors nationwide, told the Kootenai County Republicans at Fedora Pub and Grille. Constitutional carry, sometimes called permitless carry, would mean no government permits would be required to pack heat in Idaho.

“There are limitations to constitutional carry that you need to be aware of, if you're not already,” Van Horn said.
